From the site:
"Comprised of more than 80 works, 'History of History' juxtaposes
Sugimoto's own photographs, selected from the artist's well-known
series of seascapes, natural history dioramas and wax museum figures,
with an enormous range of traditional Japanese and ritual artifacts
all drawn from Sugimoto's private collection."
