Cylindrical vase with a design of a waterfall. Around 1910. The vase shows Namikawa Yasuyuki's use of shaped wires and his skilful adaptation of decoration to form.
Namikawa Yasuyuki was a high status samurai who studied the art of
cloisonné in the centre for this art in Nagoya. He then established his own workshop and studio in Kyoto.
I think this is stunning.
