The article is dedicated to the collection of Japanese artifacts owned by the Samara Regional Art Museum and originally collected by Alfred von Vacano (1846–1929), an Austrian entrepreneur, who established a brewery in Samara back in 1881. The article highlights possible reasons which drove Vacano to acquire Eastern treasures, destiny of the collection through the hundred-year period, nuances of translation work, results and prospects of using the acquired experience.
