Dr. Hiroshi Horiuchi earned his doctorate from Jikei University’s School of Medicine, Japan’s oldest private medical university, where he pursued gastroenterology with a specialization in gastrointestinal endoscopy. He holds an additional Master of Medical Administration from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University’s School of Medical Administration. During his storied career, his focus has been on the integration of AI into endoscopic medicine and treatment methods. Descended from a long line of physicians, Dr. Horiuchi’s grandfather was a surgeon who maintained close relationships with doctors and politicians from foreign countries such as the U.S. and China, serving as a local guide and friend to the family of Michael Joseph Mansfield, mentor to U.S. President Joe Biden and former Majority Leader of the United States Senate, during his tenure as American ambassador to Japan. Dr. Horiuchi began work as a hospital CEO while still in his thirties. He is currently in charge of Japan’s Advanced Medical Council, an organization he founded to further promote the integration of scientific inquiry and medical treatment that provides support to cutting-edge medical researchers and their patients. Dr. Horiuchi’s family has collected artwork for generations. Dr. Horiuchi has long enjoyed reading through auction house publications, a pastime that started with Christie’s catalogues in his teen years. From his late twenties onward, he began to pursue the acquisition of Chinese works of art in earnest—exactly when the Chinese art market began to experience a surge of renewed interest. However, even when the competition was fierce, he frequented Tokyo’s most esteemed antiques dealers and used his own acquired knowledge to painstakingly select works for acquisition. Coincidentally, his alma mater, his place of employment, and own residence are all close to the Tokyo Art Club, and as a result, he has served as a physician and medical consultant for over thirty auction and art industry professionals, supporting their health as much as they have supported him in his connoisseurship. To honor this partnership, a portion of the proceeds from this sale of high-quality works will be donated to fund gastrointestinal cancer research.Chinese Art from the Collection of Dr. Hiroshi Horiuchi
