What’s cloisonne ware in Kyoto?

 

cloisonne ware

The cloisonne ware is called Shippo-yaki in Japanese.

“Yaki” often means the pottery in Japan, but it’s made from the metal plates and the enamel.

Shippo- means the seven treasures for Buddhism (gold, silver,lapis lazuli, rock crystal, giant clam, and agate.).

The technique of the cloisonne ware had been used in the ancient Egypt, Christian art in the medieval history, and it was imported to Japan though Silk Load.

But it is said that from Edo or Meiji period (about 100-150 years ago) that the cloisonne techniques had been improved.
