The B.W. Robinson Collection - B.W. Robinson was regarded by curators, collectors and scholars as one of the world's leading experts on Japanese swords and the art of Kuniyoshi. As a museum curator and in his travels abroad, he developed an extensive knowledge of Kuniyoshi's art as well as an impressive collection. He wrote two books on Kuniyoshi that have become the standard texts in the art world on Kuniyoshi's work. After his death in December of 2005, his private collection of over 3,000 Japanese woodblock prints was purchased by private collectors and dealers alike. Among this collection there were a number of rare original Kuniyoshi designs that sold in auction for tens of thousands of dollars.
