In 2017, a work belonging to the original collection of Matsukata Kôjirô was found in the collections of the Louvre Museum. And not just any, since it was one of Claude Monet's Water Lilies (1916) that the Japanese collector had bought directly from him. It is currently being restored at the National Museum of Western Art to be exhibited there soon.
