Provenance: US private collection. Namikawa Yasuyuki (1845-1927) is widely regarded as one of the greatest cloisonné makers of all time. He won prizes at the Philadelphia World Fair of 1876, then at the Paris World Fair of 1878, and later at the 1889 Paris Fair. He was also honored at the series of National Industrial Expositions which was instituted in 1877. He won altogether 31 prizes at expositions both at home and abroad. In 1896 together with the unrelated Namikawa Sosuke, Yasuyuki was appointed as a Teishitsu Gigeiin, or ‘Imperial Artist’, the only two cloisonné makers to be so honored.

Gregory Irvine. London: Victoria and Albert Publishing, 2011. 96 pgs; 89 color illus; bibliography; index. £9.99 ISBN 978 1 85177 657 3 Although the Meiji era in Japan has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years, the importance of cloisonné enamels that flourished in Japan during this period has been neglected. In an effort to remedy this lacuna, Gregory Irvine, Senior Curator in the Victoria and Albert Museum, has mounted a superb small exhibition of cloisonné objects drawn from the museum's recently received collection of pieces through the generous donation of Edwin Davies. In this show and in the catalogue that accompanies it, Irvine has charted the history of cloisonné enamel, demonstrating how prevalent the interest became once Japan started producing a wide range of objects to meet the insatiable demands of the West for objects in this material.

  • A CHRONOLOGY of RELEVANT EVENTS October 2020
    A CHRONOLOGY OF RELEVANT EVENTS october 2020 The history of Japan, and thus of Satsuma ceramics, is complex and includes many events. A chronology in which all these events are described in their order of occurrence over time is therefore useful. From the Canadian collector mr. John Henley, specialized in Noritake and Nippon ware, we received permission to put such a chronology on our website. We are pleased with his contribution, which, however extensive, can be seen as a starting document. After all, the history of Japan and Satsuma ceramics has many events worth mentioning. An update will therefore be made on a regular basis.
