Large Pair of Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Vases Attributed to Honda Yasaburo
About the Item
A large pair of Japanese Cloisonne Enamel vases attributed to Honda Yasaburo, 19th century.
Finley decorated with the rich enamel colors of orange and green, these vases are designed with birds, phoenix, dragons, lotus and paulownia flowers and the traditional Japanese Karakusa pattern.
Karakusa is a decorative motif commonly used in traditional Japanese art and design. The word "karakusa" refers to a type of plant, often translated as "Arabesque" in English, which features a twisting and curling vine-like stem with leaves and flowers.
The karakusa pattern is created by repeating this vine-like stem in a continuous pattern, often with various other elements such as flowers, fruits, and leaves. The pattern can be found in a variety of mediums, including textiles, ceramics, and lacquerware.
The karakusa pattern has a long history in Japanese art and design, dating back to the Heian period. It was often used as a decorative element in clothing, such as the kimono, and in architecture, such as in the decorative elements of temples and shrines.
Today, the karakusa pattern is still a popular decorative element in Japanese art and design. It is often used in modern designs for textiles, stationery, and other decorative items. The pattern has also been adapted and incorporated into contemporary Western designs, often used in fashion, home decor, and graphic design.
Honda Yasaburo was a renowned Japanese cloisonne artist who lived and worked during the Meiji period (1868-1912) in Japan. He was born in 1845 in Nagoya, Japan, and studied under the famous cloisonne artist Namikawa Yasuyuki.
He was known for his exceptional skill and attention to detail in cloisonne enamel work, and his pieces are highly sought after by collectors today. His works often featured intricate designs with bold colors and gold accents, and he was particularly skilled at creating realistic depictions of animals, birds, and flowers.
Honda Yasaburo's works were exhibited in international expositions, including the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900, where he won a Gold Medal for his cloisonne enamel vase. He was also awarded the prestigious title of "Teishitsu Gigei-in" (Imperial Household Artist in 1910 by Emperor Meiji.) in 1910 by Emperor Meiji.
Today, Honda Yasaburo's works can be found in major museums and private collections around the world. They represent not only exceptional artistry but also the cultural and historical significance of the Meiji period in Japan.

- Large Pair of Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Lanterns Attributed to Kaji TsunekichiLocated in New York, NYA Large Pair of Japanese Cloisonne Enamel Lanterns Attributed to Kaji Tsunekichi, Edo Period, 19th century Japanese cloisonne lanterns were made during the Meiji period, from the late 19th to early 20th century, and were often used as decorative lighting fixtures in temples and shrines. Kaji Tsunekichi (1866-1916) was a Japanese cloisonné artist who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born in Tokyo and learned the art of cloisonné from his father, Kaji Sataro, who was also a cloisonné artist. He was renowned for his mastery of the shippo-yaki technique, which involves creating intricate designs with thin wires on a metal base before filling in the spaces with enamel. Tsunekichi was known for his exceptional technical skills and his ability to create intricate designs with vibrant colors. His works often featured nature motifs, such as flowers, birds, and fish, which were rendered in a highly detailed and naturalistic style. He also experimented with new techniques, such as plique-à-jour, a type of cloisonné that creates a stained-glass effect. Tsunekichi's works were highly prized during his lifetime and continue to be sought after by collectors today. He won numerous awards for his cloisonné creations, including a Gold Medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. His works are characterized by their fine wirework, precise enamel application, and attention to detail. Some of Tsunekichi's most famous works include a pair of large cloisonné vases...Category
