Yasuyuki Namikawa
Cloisonne enamelware gained popularity as a craft for export during the Meiji era. Yasuyuki Namikawa (1845-1927) was a cloisonne enamel artist in Kyoto. Although Namikawa came from a samurai background, after the Meiji Restoration, he started cloisonne enamel work, which became popular overseas. In 1896 (29th year of Meiji), he became a member of the Imperial Household Artists and established himself as one of the leading craftsmen of his day.
In recent years, the arts and crafts of the Meiji period have been the focus of renewed attention. The Itoura Museum of Art, which honors the achievements of Okakura Tenshin (1863-1913), who devoted himself to the development of modern Japanese art, presents an exhibition of cloisonne enamel works by Namikawa Yasuyuki, a contemporary of Tenshin, from his early to late years. In addition to masterpieces of Namikawa cloisonne enamel works, the exhibition will also feature related materials such as underglaze paintings, early Edo period decorative metal fittings from the Shugakuin Imperial Villa, and cloisonne enamel works by Sosuke Namikawa, who was active at the same time as Namikawa and was called the "Namikawa of the East.
