The collection is a bit uneven, with wonderful works of art shelved next to souvenir items. The size of the collection is daunting, with an estimated 1,800 objects, many largely unstudied.<\/p>\n<p>Teaching about Asian art has a long history at Berea College.\u00a0 From the 1940s through the 1980s, professors Dorothy Tredennick and Lester Pross helped several generations of Bereans to become aware of the riches of Asian art and art history, particularly <em>sumi-e <\/em>(Japanese brush painting).<\/p>\n<p>In 2007-08, an\u00a0ASIANetwork-Luce Foundation Asian Art in the Undergraduate Curriculum Grant made possible a visit by consulting scholar Dr. Sandy Kita, who cataloged and studied the Japanese art collection. This collection consists of paintings, woodblock prints (ukiyo-e), modern Japanese prints (gendai hanga), woodblock-printed books, manuscripts and other calligraphy, armor, kimono, dolls, and small objects such as sword-fittings (menuki), toggles (netsuke) and containers (inro).\u00a0 Dr. Kita also was instrumental in organizing the exhibit <em>The Horse in Japan, 1615-1912<\/em> in the fall of 2010.<\/p>\n<p>From time to time, Berea has hosted delegations of Tibetan Buddhist monks, who have created sand mandalas for temporary display.\u00a0 To see photos from one such display, click <a href=\"http:\/\/community.berea.edu\/galleryv\/mandala.HTML\">here<\/a>.\u00a0 To see video from other such visits, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fHROk1OluhU\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Asian art collection is part of the College Art Collections. While items in the collection occasionally are exhibited in the Doris Ullmann Galleries, the vast majority of items in the collection are stored away from public view.
