The exhibition traveled to Japan through December 1988.; Burghley House is the magnificent Elizabethan home of the Marquess of Exeter at Stamford, England built by William Cecil, the great Minister and Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. The House, which King William III said in 1690 was "too large for a subject!" has among its outstanding collections of paintings, furniture, tapestries, and silver, a rare and superb group of Chinese, Japanese, and European porcelains. The Burghley porcelain collection is distinguished by its early Japanese wares, and is unique among the surviving private and royal porcelain collections in Europe for a number of pieces that can be identified in the House's Inventory of 1688, drawn up by the secretary to the fifth Earl of Exeter, or in the 1690 written bequest of Elizabeth, dowager Countess of Devonshire. The inventories, which only came to light in 1982 after centuries of neglected storage in the archives, are Europe's earliest known record of Japanese porcelains. The porcelains selected here from the Burghley collection tell much about the British canons of taste and achievements in connoisseurship from the Elizabethan through Victorian eras, and shed light as well on the history of Chinese and Japanese export ware and its influence on European culture.

More mask than hat, it is a dis- guise to transform the wearer into a personage of otherworldly ferocity. Intended to frighten the enemy, an even more subtle function may be to transform the wearer. Thus garbed, his true status confirmed, he is the samurai dedicated to death governed by a code beyond the pale and beyond reproach. The mask of terror becomes the man himself. The role of art in this change of personality is through sculpture. Some kabuto we recognize as great works of art. In these, the artist himself identifies as one with his creation. There is no division between artist and mask any more than there is in nature, where the beetle devises his own attire to assure survival. Art is the means." from the introduction by Isamu Noguchi.
