I do not understand how Calendar could devote a section to “Arts and Culture in the Pacific Rim” (March 19) and not mention Pacific Asia Museum.

Pacific Asia Museum was opened in 1970 and has over the years been recognized by professionals and collectors as a major showplace for Asian art and artifacts--the only museum in the Pacific Southwest devoted exclusively to furthering the understanding among all the people of Asia and the United States through the arts.

Right now there is an extraordinary exhibit of contemporary woodblock prints by one of Japan’s leading artists, Tsuruya Kokei, the official artist for the Grand Kabuki Theater.

Pacific Asia Museum is a valuable cultural treasure in this city. We believe it merits the attention and concern of The Times.
