<p class="x_ydp53880ed2MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt; layout-grid-mode:char">
I’m writing to ask whether anyone has done work on Tokugawa Musei, or knows where his archives are.</p>
<p class="x_ydp53880ed2MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt; layout-grid-mode:char">
I am interested in what he did in his trips to the UK, and, in particular, in 1937. I see from a newspaper cutting that he was on the ship with Prince and Princess Chichibu, bound for the coronation of King George VI, traveling via Canada and New York.</p>
<p class="x_ydp53880ed2MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt; layout-grid-mode:char">
My quest, still, is to try and nail down any history of the <i>Kaguya</i> print in the UK. I have a provenance without a surviving print – the one sent to the Japan Society in Nov>Dec ’36 and kept in London, but lost films are not, alas, news – and the second
one sent in early ’37, which is the one that survives (from the Imperial censorship stamp). My best guess, still, is that it was on that ship.</p>
<p class="x_ydp53880ed2MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt; layout-grid-mode:char">
María José has kindly looked at his published reminiscences but they have not revealed anything relevant.</p>
<p class="x_ydp53880ed2MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt; layout-grid-mode:char">
I’ve already tried all the Royal Archives and the Imperial Household Agency. Even if I can’t connect the print to Tokugawa, I’d still like to know something of what he did in the UK.<span>
</span>He has no mention in the ten volumes of <i>Britain and Japan – Biographical Portraits</i>.</p>
