Friedrich Karl Georg Rumpf (1888-1949), son of German artist Fritz Rumpf, was a German illustrator and ethnographer. When World War II broke out, the younger Fritz Rumpf was living in Japan and possibly wrote portions of at least one of the following notebooks while incarcerated. The notebooks would be particularly difficult to work with since they contain several notes in German and Japanese, as well as pencil, ink, and wash sketches made during his travels and studies in Japan. Join us as we transcribe these notebooks from the Freer Gallery of Art's Archives and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery's Archives.
