Japan will hold an exhibition of ancient Chinese art treasures from Taiwan's National Palace Museum in 2014, museum director Chou Kung-shin said.

Chou said last week the exhibition, the first of its kind in Asia outside of Taiwan, could take place from June to September.

She said the timing and other details will be finalized when Masami Zeniya, executive director of the Tokyo National Museum, visits Taiwan to discuss the matter with her.
