Patricia Graham: Expert of Obaku Art

Glad to meet Patricia Graham this afternoon in my home. She is an accomplished scholar and professional appraiser of Japanese art. She has published a lot on seventeenth-century Japanese art, especially Obaku art and Sencha tradition in Japan. We had a wonderful conversation and a relaxing afternoon with tea. She has a business of appraising Asian arts: log in  http://www.patriciagraham.net/. If you have a Japanese art object, she is the ultimate authority. She also kept a blog on Asia art market at http://patriciajgraham.blogspot.com/. Here are a few books she has published. She is right now working on a biography on Langdon Warner, a former Harvard professor and East Asian art historian.
