Cloisonné, the art of applying enamel to objects, dates back to the early Byzantine Empire. It then spread rapidly to China, Southeast Asia, Russia, and eventually the whole of the European continent. It is in Japan, however, that the technique was perfected.

This book devoted to one of the world's leading collections of Japanese cloisonné celebrates a painstaking process that results in unbelievably intricate, delicate, and breathtaking works of art.
