Here are three suggestions to start with in your hunt. No promises. I would re
commend writing rather than calling, but there is the risk you won't get a "time
ly" reply. If you do write, I recommend addressing it to the director, as other
titles may not be recognized (including "curator") as a specific individual's r
esponsibility, and your letter might sit around forever.
These are from Roberts' Guide to Japanese Museums of Art and Archaeology, Lauren
ce P. Roberts, THE SIMUL PRESS. I will still ask around.
