Kobayashi Reksai (1884–1959), a craftsman skilled in woodworking and ivory carving, adapted his techniques during a time of transition from traditional to Western clothing styles to become a master miniature artist. Among Reksai’s clients were two collectors named Nakata: Fujinosuke Nakata, an antique dealer focused on crafts, and Minoru Nakata, renowned for his stamp collecting and pursuit of the smallest items. This exhibition features around 300 miniatures, mainly from the newly acquired Fujinosuke collection, along with pieces from the Minoru collection.
