Abstract
This article reports how the donated items were organized to be documented and digitized based upon the presentation at JADS 40th workshop in Kumamoto on June 7, 2003. It also discusses the difficulties in the process of documentation and database construction such as notation system, translation, and intellectual property issues. This collection by Dr. Shigeyasu Hasumi includes more than a thousand photos of ancient Japanese sculptures and Asian paintings, especially focused on Sesshu. It now belongs to the University Museum, the University of Tokyo, where the author did her internship as a candidate for the Museum Studies Certificate program at Harvard University.
