Recently, Christie's International Auction House announced that it will launch a special auction of "Important Chinese Artworks from the Fujita Art Collection" during the New York auction season on March 16, 2017.

The six calligraphy and painting works include Gan's "Horse Walking Picture", North's "Border Bridge Picture", "Lingyang Geese Picture", and the Southern Song Dynasty's "Liu Long Picture".
How did these precious and well-preserved paintings and calligraphy works spanning 800 years arrive in Japan? Facts have proved that the Qing palace has always had the habit of enslaving the monarch Baylor and getting close to ministers. During the Jiaqing period, the number of prizes awarded to court calligraphers and famous paintings gradually increased, especially after Daoguang, some of which were given to the famous and important official Prince Gong. In this way, the calligraphy and painting of "Shiqu Baoji" spread from the Qing Palace to Prince Gong's Mansion. During the Republic of China, in order to support the restoration of the Qing Dynasty and raise military funds, Prince Gong's successor Puyi auctioned and sold a large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the palace. A large part of it was sold to Japanese antique dealer Luo. Yamamoto sold them to the owner of the Fujita Museum, Japanese industrialist Baron Fujita, who founded the Fujita Museum in 1954. The Fujita Museum has encountered difficulties in recent years due to a lack of funds. It is said that the museum does not even have zeroing equipment. In order to further improve the management level and future development of the Fujita Museum, the Fujita Museum had to reluctantly give up and auction all its Chinese cultural relics and treasures.
