This paper deals with the Japanese collection of Růžena Trnožková who lived in Japan in 1918 and collected the Japanese and Chinese objects. In 1936, she donated her collection, which consisted of almost 250 items, to the Náprstek Museum. The collection includes objects mainly made during the 19th and in the beginning of the 20th century and represents goods typically collected by the Europeans. The article also provides a little biographic information about her and her husband Vojtěch.
