Abstract
East Asian objects have been collected by the V&A since its very inception. It was not until the 1970s, however, that works from China, Korea and Japan were brought together in a single collection, rather than being scattered across the other, material-based, departments. Today, the East Asia section, and its internationally renowned holdings, are part of the museum’s Asia Department.
