A small section <strong>of</strong> a Far Eastern gallery has been set aside to show twenty-five objects that<br />

have recently come under our ro<strong>of</strong>- either by accession or loan. They form a diverse group,<br />

ranging geographically from India to China and Japan, and chronologically from the Han<br />

dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220) up to the eighteenth century. The following article discusses<br />

one <strong>of</strong> them, a handscroll depicting a spring festival, but each <strong>of</strong> these beautiful pieces is<br />

worth writing about, and each deserves a visit.<br />
