Japanese calligrapher Kampo Hareda, center, is pictured with visitors
Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Shaw, at the Kampo Kaikan Museum in Kyoto,
Japan. Hareda has established the largest collection of Judaica in the
Far East.
Japanese Calligrapher
A Collector Of Judaica
Woodbridge, Conn. — The
largest assortment of Judaica in
the Far East has been established
amid the Shinto shrines and
Buddhist temples in the old
Japanese capital of Kyoto by a
world-famous calligrapher,
Kampo Harada.
The 75-year-old Harada has
assembled the Judaica collection
at the Kampo Kaikan Museum to
encourage cultural exchange and
to express his personal interest in
Judaism and Israel. Born in
Japan in 1911, Harada began the
study of calligraphy and ancient
Chinese literature in his youth.
"Mr. Harada, who is believed of
Jewish ancestry, is the driving
force behind this expression of in-
tercultural interest in Japan,"
said Ronald Shaw, an American
businessman who visited the ex-
hibit.
"The museum is in a serene
garden and holds 300,000 docu-
ments, including 3,000 volumes
of Hebrew literature and Judaica
and a dozen Torah scrolls housed
in a small ark. Famed 17th and
18th century Eastern European
Talmuds and artifacts from
everyday Jewish life are dis-
persed among the intercultural
exhibit.
"Mr. Harada's interest in
Judaism stems in part from his
belief that his ancestors were
Jewish and may be part of the ten
lost tribes of Israel," Shaw con-
tinued. "He sensed the Jewigi
people's deep respect for the
Torah and education, and he be-
lieves there are similarities be-
tween Shinto and Jewish reli-
gious rituals.
"After World War II, Harada
feared the growing secularism in
his country and the decline of
traditional crafts and customs,"
Shaw said. "So he founded the
Nippon Shuji Educational nature
of brush writing. The private
schools now have 800,000 stu-
dents in 18,000 branches."
"During the Chinese cultural
revolution in the late 1960s,
thousands of ancient manuscripts
were rescued from China and
brought to Japan. These manu-
scripts formed the core of the
World Study Library, a multilin-
gual treasury of world culture
open to the public," Shaw noted.
