The extraordinary quality of workmanship and the sophistication of design shown in the boxes in the Ehrenkranz collection demonstrate the highest expressions of this art form. The techniques used in Japanese lacquer are still little understood in the West. Barbra Teri Okada's well researched and finely written introductory essay as well as her comments on individual pieces will help greatly to advance knowledge in this field. Mrs. Okada, who is Special Consultant to the Newark Museum's Japanese collection, has had unique opportunities to document lacquer production in modern times as well as to research the entire history of lacquer craftsmanship in Japan."
