EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of creation in the art of Cloisonne enameling, as a skilled Japanese artisan demonstrates his craft at the Japanese Village in Humphreys Hall, Knightsbridge, London, in 1885. The Japanese Village, a complete replica of a traditional Japanese village, was shipped over from Japan and exhibited in London as part of a larger cultural exhibition. The village included shops, a tea-house, a theatre, and a place of worship, providing visitors with an authentic experience of Japanese culture. The artisan is meticulously working on a vase, his concentration unbroken as he carefully places enamel into the intricately designed compartments of the cloisonne technique. Cloisonne enameling is an ancient art form that involves applying powdered glass to a metal base, which is then heated in a kiln to fuse the glass to the metal. The artist uses a thin metal rod to apply the enamel powder to the desired areas, creating intricate patterns and designs. The art of Cloisonne enameling has its roots in China, but it was perfected in Japan during the Heian period (794-1185 AD). The art form reached its peak during the Momoyama period (1573-1603 AD), when it was used to decorate various objects, including vases, bowls, and jewelry. The art form requires great skill and patience, as each piece is made entirely by hand. The Japanese Village exhibition in London provided a unique opportunity for Europeans to experience Japanese culture firsthand, and the demonstration of Cloisonne enameling was a particular highlight. The artisan's deft touch and focus on the intricate details of his work showcase the beauty and precision of this ancient art form, which continues to captivate audiences to this day.
