Our catalogues reflect our scholarly interests, from Beijing and Chinese architecture to archaeology as well as the illustrated hand scrolls (emaki) and medieval Buddhism of Japan.
Excavations range from the Neolithic Banpo to the Qianlong emperor s gardens at Yuanming Yuan with a heavy dose of middle period sites, imperial Qin, Han and Tang. Equally important are the cave chapels at Dunhuang (see Buddhist Arts).

Picture scrolls (emaki) are cataloged separately from Japanese painting topics generally; many out of print scholarly volumes by giants in their day dominate the latter.
