- Cloisonné enamel work
- 1936 -
The “scale pattern” is created by using silver wires.
Usually the silver wires of baseless cloisonn? are applied as a regular mesh along the vessel shape so as to increase the strength; however, I successfully freed myself from this age-old practice, and arrange scale- or rock-like silver wire shapes to give decorativeness and strength.
Depending on the angle of the light, the silver wires covered by the pale cloisonn? glazes sparkle brightly and create a perfectly clear unique color scheme and a sense of profound depth.
