Japanese Antique Cloisonne Enamel Vase Hayashi Kodenji

About the Item

MEIJI PERIOD (1868-1912) From our Japanese collection, we are delighted to introduce this good size Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vase. The Vase of gently tapered form with a pinched neck and slightly flared base beautifully decorated upon a dark blue almost black ground. The central scene depicts bamboo and cherry blossom inlaid with varying gauge silver wire amongst several birds finished in gold wire. The top and bottom of the vase inlaid with an intricate cicada lappet border with a secondary border to the base with blossoming flowers and swirling motifs. The Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vase is attributed to Hayashi Kodenji and dates to the Meiji period (1868-1912). HAYASHI KODENJI I student to Hayashi Shogoro (1835-1896) who played a pivotal role in training students in the art of cloisonne was a central figure in the cloisonné enamel industry well into the 20th century. Kodenji was the founder and head of the Shipo-cho enamelers guild and in 1894 he opened a school to train cloisonne workers that operated until 1907. He ran a showroom in Nagoya from 1907-1914 and also operated a sales branch in London. As a master of cloisonne wears he went on to win medals at expositions in Nuremberg 1885, Chicago 1893, Paris 1889 and St. Louis 1904 and finally a price at the Liege in 1905. He was awarded the Medal of the Green Ribbon in Japan (Ryokujuhosho) in 1902. Kodenji I went onto produce cloisonne wears with his son Suguemon (1859-1922) known as Kodenji II with virtually no easy distinction between either maker. They were both followed by Hayashi Tomijiro, Kodenji III (1879-1944) and Kurakichi Kodenji IV, (1904-1982).
