The Japanese Collection of Antonie Urbánková
Original language description
This study examines the Japanese collection donated by Antonie Urbánková to the Náprstek Museum in 1906, on the occasion of would have been the 80th birthday anniversary of the museum's founder Vojta Náprstek. Although historically considered of lesser importance, a new analysis reveals that the collection contains authentic and diverse examples of Japanese craftsmanship from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The focus lies not only on the curated artifacts - such as lacquerware, wooden objects, baskets, toys, and metal pieces - but also on the donor's life story and her travels to Asia, including Japan. Of particular note are the items produced at the Sugamo Prison workshop, which are unique within Czech collections. The paper offers a new perspective on travel, collecting practices, and women's roles in exploring the cultures outside Europe in early 20th century Czech lands.
