Antique Cloisonne


The crafting of Japanese cloisonne began in the Edo period (c. 1603-1868). It reached its most magnificent stage in the early 1800s with the artist and samurai Kaji Tsunekichi who perfected Japanese cloisonné technique that led to a flourishing export trade and a magnificent art.

The technique involves pouring enamel into wire cells covering a metal body. Japanese cloisonné or Shippo yaki uses many techniques including yusen cloisonné (with wires), musen cloisonne (wireless), shotai or plique-a-jour, ginbari and pingeon blood cloisonné.

One of the most prestigious manufacturers of Japanese cloisonné is Ando of Nagoya
