"Shippo - Cloisonne of Meiji" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Sen-Oku Hakuko Kan
Media: Ceramics
Shippo (cloisonne) is a decorative technique of ceramic making using glass powder to create beautiful patterns. In Japan, shippo flourished in the middle ages throughout the modern period. Especially in the 19th century in Obari, ever since Tsunekichi Kaji invented a yusen shippo (wired shippo) which enabled ceramists a sort of painter-like approach, shippo became even more gorgeously ornate. In the modern era, these Japanese shippo wares became quite popular in Europe, and this was also the time when Japanese artisans were well motivated to create shippo masterpieces in order to present the high quality of Japanese craft internationally.
This exhibition mainly consists of collections of Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Museum in Kyoto, which holds the largest collections of modern shippo, featuring masterpieces from the Meiji period.
