Note # N-2:   Much of this data was compiled over the last twenty-five years by Norman L. Sandfield in direct correspondence with the Museums.  Since this list has been compiled from many different resources, the format of the records will be different, and we are not able to confirm all of the data, thus corrections and updates are always welcome.

Note # N-3:    For more information on most of these Museums and their collections, netsuke-related books and articles about them can be found in The Ultimate Netsuke Bibliography (TUNB, the book), Chapter 13, Museums, with even more at TUNB online at www.internetsuke.com/tunb.  Extensive searches might be necessary due to museum name changes since the original publication, and various translations of museum names into English at different times.  Searches by geographic location might be very helpful. 

NOTE # N-4: Museums below are generally organized in alphabetic order within Continent, Country, and State, with some additional unorganized museums and museum-related bibliographic entries at the end of the list.  Unorganized Japanese Museums are in alphabetical order at the head of their list.

NOTE # N-5: There are a number of various correct ways the word netsuke is spelled in non-English languages:  Necuke, netsuke, netskes, netsukes, netzke, and netzkes. REF: TUNB, page 344.

NOTE # N-6: Many thanks to Makiko Komada and her website for her support on information for Japanese Museums, at http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~komada/e-museums.html

UNKNOWN San Francisco Museum(s):

•58.            San Francisco Museum, (unidentified), Collection of Netsukes. 1940. It is unclear which Museum this is, see the discussion of the history of San Francisco Museum names under the Ney Wolfskill Collection, TUNB # 1430 and # 1741.  ALSO: Jay, John, “Wood and Ivory Carvings at the Park Museum,” in The San Francisco Chronicle. 1897: San Francisco, California.

•59.            Wolfskill, Ney (1872-1936), The Palace of Fine Arts, and Golden Gate Park Museum, Catalogue of Netsuke: Ney Wolfskill Loan Collection. 1916, 1918, San Francisco, California:  There is an interesting conflict in both the publication date and the Museum name, which was found when comparing various copies of this book: On the title page of some copies of the book, there is a cut-out piece of printed paper which is glued over the original printed text. Other copies of the catalog do not have this added pasted-on label. The original publication information underneath reads: “Japanese Section / Golden Gate Park Museum / San Francisco / 1916.” In the copy at LACMA, the following publication information is printed on the added paper: “Japanese Section / Golden Gate Museum / San Francisco / 1918.” In Sandfield's copy the added paper reads: “Oriental Department / The Palace of Fine Arts / San Francisco, 1918.”  It is possible that the show was held at the Palace of Fine Arts again in 1918 and that the same catalogue was used, but given a new publication date.  The Golden Gate Park Museum preceded the deYoung Museum next door in Golden Gate Park. The Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915. Currently, the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco is in fact two organizations: the California Palace of the Legion of Honor and the DeYoung Memorial Museum. The new Asian Art Museum opened in downtown San Francisco in 2003.
