Tamashige Tibet Collection - Added

The Tamashige Tibet Collection, Tokyo, Japan, is almost exclusively comprised of paintings from the Tibetan regions. More than half of the paintings belong to sets with several sister compositions found in other museum and private collections. There is no specific religious theme, time period or painting style emphasized in the collection but rather an eclectic group spanning all of Tibet from the 14th to 19th centuries. Mr. Tamashige built the collection between 1987 and 2001.
