Description
"Les Jades, Mandchoukuo" from 1940 sets the jade subject within the context of Manchukuo — Japan's puppet state in northeast China — depicting either a figure from that territory holding jade, or the jade objects themselves associated with Manchurian collecting culture. The three jade-themed prints (Chinese, Jade Lady, and Manchukuo) form a coherent group exploring the different cultural contexts in which these precious stones circulated in the East Asian world of the 1940s.
