Korea's central Asian art collection donated by Kuhara


This is the residence, Villa Niraku which Kuhara bought from Otani in 1916.  It is not far from Kuhara's large estate in Kobe.  It burnt down in a fire in 1932.  It was built with a distinctly Indian influence, to honor Buddha and the land from which he came.  Each room inside was done in the style of different countries.
