Before examining the history of cloisonne, the author provides a helpful overview of champleve enamels, and also the relationship between cloisonne and Chinese enamels. Analysis of various examples from each period, along with the relationships between different artists, adds depth to the historical context. A discussion of the Ming Dynasty in China leads to a brief examination of various theories about the introduction of enamelling to Japan, both from China and other regions, with the history of glass-making in Japan also considered. The author includes an in-depth chapter looking at a number of glass items, including a mirror and a koto dating from the 12th century. Expanding beyond the historical examination, the author also explores the variety of designs and motifs common to Japanese cloisonne, as well as a breakdown of the different methods and techniques used to create these works of art. This book is a valuable resource for the study of Japanese cloisonne enamels, providing in-depth analysis and historical context for both collectors and academics alike.
