Synopsis

Caring for Japanese Art at the Chester Beatty Library is a memoir of Yoshiko Ushioda, looking back at more than five decades of life in Dublin.

Beginning as a volunteer at the Chester Beatty Library in 1970, she would go on to become curator and accompany masterpieces loaned by The Chester Beatty Library to special exhibitions all around the world. Both inspiring and heartfelt, Mrs. Ushioda’s memoir will be of interest to both lovers of Japanese Art and those interested in Irish-Japanese relations.
