The summer is off to a busy start in special collections.  This week the the 19th-century Japanese screen by Kanō Seisen’in Osanobu, previously discussed in this blog (http://specialcollections.blogs.brynmawr.edu/?p=1643) was packed and transported via specialized art couriers Nishio Conservation Studio where it will under conservation over the next two years.

Additionally, a Scroll Painting of Birds and flowers by Motonobu Kano has just been returned after receiving conservation treatment.

This 15th century scroll was mentioned briefly before in this blog, prior to it’s conservation (http://specialcollections.blogs.brynmawr.edu/?p=1167).
