Mikimoto Memorial Ruskin Lecture

Ryuzo Mikimoto devoted his life to the study of John Ruskin, founding the Ruskin Library of Tokyo in 1934.

Ryuzo Mikimoto was the son of Kokichi Mikimoto, who pioneered cultured pearls and founded the Mikimoto pearl empire in 1893. After Ryuzo Mikimoto’s death in 1971, his relatives worked to reopen the library, with readers returning from 1984.

The first Mikimoto Lecture took place at Lancaster University in 1995, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the reopening of the Ruskin Library of Tokyo. The lecture, ‘Ruskin To-Day’, was given by James S. Dearden, Curator of the Ruskin Galleries at Bembridge School.

The Mikimoto Memorial Lecture is supported by a generous donation from the Trustees of the Ruskin Library of Tokyo.
