Abstract: Sakurai's Object (V4334 Sgr), the final-flash object discovered in the mid-1990s, underwent rapid cooling during the first decade of the 21st century, becoming as faint as K25. This stage of evolution has ceased. In 2010, we recovered V4334 Sgr in the near-infrared at Ks = 16.6. Here we provide near-infrared magnitudes in 2013 and 2014. By 2014 June, V4334 Sgr had brightened to Ks = 13.8.
