About this title

Synopsis

Discover the beauty and technique of Japanese cloisonn� enamels.

This richly illustrated guide brings together middle-period examples, modern pieces, and notes on design, marks, and history.

This book surveys cloisonn� enamel from Japan, detailing how the cloisons, pastes, and glazing create vivid, durable works. It highlights distinctive motifs, imperial crests, and the range from early to modern practices, with plates that show the fine workmanship and subtle color harmony.

See how delicate grounds, diapositive patterns, and medallions are arranged on dishes and vases.
Learn about motifs such as karakusa, kiku crests, ho-ho (phoenix), and kara shishi (Chinese lion) across periods.
Understand how marks, inscriptions, and forged emblems relate to the art and its history.
Compare middle-period work with later pieces and foreign imitators, through detailed plates and descriptive notes.

Ideal for readers interested in Japanese art, decorative arts, and the history of enamelware, as well as collectors seeking context for cloisonn� pieces.
