From "The influence of French art within Japan":
Herman D'Oelsnitz (1882-1941) was an art dealer who focused on the great impact of French culture on Japan and in the spring of 1922, he came to Japan with a number of artworks from France. Art critic KURODA Hoshin (1885-1967), who was working at Mitsukoshi at the time, became the implementer for the Japan side of things as a result of a request by KURODA Seiki who was contacted by the Ambassador to France, and the 1st Exhibition of French Contemporary Arts was realized. The exhibition was held 10 times, every year until 1931, and provided a valuable opportunity for average Japanese citizens to appreciate French artwork of the time.

PRE-WAR ARMS SHIPMENTS
PRE-WAR ARMS SHIPMENTS
As a mixed passenger and cargo ship, I have found only one story about cargo. According to a debate in the British House of Commons in February 1938, on November 13, 1937 "Messrs. Vickers, Armstrong shipped 26 machine-gun sets" aboard the vessel. Oliver Stanley, as President of the Board of Trade avoided answering any specific questions ("it is not the Government's practice to publish information which would disclose the business of individual firms.").
Question time from the prior week (February 15, 1938):
War Material (Export Licences)
11.
Lieut.-Commander Fletcher asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give particulars of the licence granted during November, 1937, to Messrs. Vickers, Armstrong, for the export of machine-gun sets to Japan?
Mr. Stanley
No licences were in fact issued during November, 1937, for the export of war material of any description to Japan; but, as I have previously explained in this House, His Majesty's Government consider that it is contrary to the public interest to publish particulars of licences issued for the export of arms and ammunition to particular destinations.
Mr. Thorne
Is it not a fact that licences have been given for the export of arms to other countries, and that they are re-exported from those countries to Japan?
Mr. Stanley
I was merely asked about Japan.
Mr. Noel-Baker
Is it not possible for the right hon. Gentleman to insist upon the condition that they shall not be re-exported to Japan? Has that not been done before, and should it not now be done, in the public interest?
Mr. Stanley
That is a different question, and if the hon. Member wishes to ask it, perhaps he will put it on the Paper.
Mail
Mail
Just an example--don't know if mail was stored with cargo.
