JAPANESE Cloisonné

The Japanese word for cloisonné is “shippo – yaki”,

which, depending upon which reference you refer to,

means, “seven heavenly treasures”, or, “seven

treasures, baked”.

These treasures referred to in Buddhist scripture,

relate to the precious materials of, gold, pearl, silver,

agate, coral, lapis lazuli and crystal, plus others.

What is it?

Basically, it is the enamelling of a metal bodied object,

(brass, copper, silver or even gold), with the colours

separated by wires into “cloisons”, ( a French word).

(Rarely, ceramics can also be used as a base,

see lot number 329)

Enamel is a form of glass and is coloured by adding

metallic oxides. Upon baking in a kiln, the enamel

melts and fuses to the metal. There are a number

of firings with subsequent additions of enamel paste,

due to shrinkage. The inside is also enamelled to

equalise the heat stress on the metal body.

Finally, the whole is ground and polished. This is a

laborious lengthy process which traditionally could

take several months of labour when performed

manually.

When did it begin?

The techniques, to various standards existed from

ancient times in many cultures, however, during the

Ming dynasty in China, the medium was refined. Later,

the growing middle classes of the Western world

created a lucrative export trade for China and Japan.

Japan

After Japans isolation, (approximately 1650 – 1850)

ended, Japanese craftsmen and firms exhibited their

wares in Europe to great acclaim.

Previously, the former samurai, Kaji Tsunekichi,

around 1833, disassembled some Chinese cloisonné.

By the 1850’s he had taken on pupils and was the

“official” maker of the region.

Over time, the level of artistic and technical standards

had surpassed anything, “cloisonné”, from the past.

The “golden age”, being approximately 1880 – 1914.

Modern History

Changes in fashion and taste, as well as the 1930’s

depression and then world war II, saw the demise of

most of the cloisonné studios. Only a few remained,

Ando, Inaba, Tamura and a few others. Today, the

major two left are Ando and Sato.

By the mid 1950’s modernist and abstract designs

prevailed.

Recent Chinese machine aided production has

resulted in vastly inferior wares that cannot be

compared to Japanese cloisonné.

The time, labour and cost to produce quality cloisonné

today means that it is extremely unlikely more will be

produced approaching the standards of the past. This,

together with the increasing number of collectors

drawn to it around the world – but particularly from

Europe and the USA, means that quality pieces will be

increasingly difficult to find and the prices people are

prepared to pay to acquire them will very likely

increase.

Some Important Points

· Probably, less than 5% of all Japanese cloisonné is marked by the

maker.

· Many early makers marks are still unidentified.

· The last two decades has seen a resurgence of interest, particularly

within the USA and Europe. This has led to research which is

continuing to yield more published information.

· Unlike, say painting, overall quality is the major factor determining

value rather than authorship.

“Tsuiki-jippo”, means hammered up or raised up

enamel. Often the body is silver and is worked in

repoussé. Then translucent enamel layers are applied.

In this example the upper section and the interior

feature a ginbari effect. The standard wire work of the

dragon is extremely fine. This type of vase is very rare

and only the best craftsmen/artists made them.
