Cloisonné, Embodying the History and Beauty of Kyoto Cloisonné
Shippou (cloisonné) is said to rival the beauty of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism (gold, silver, lapis lazuli, glass, conch, coral, and agate). Cloisonné is a craft with a history and tradition spanning over a thousand years, where glass-like glazes are fused onto metal. The form of cloisonné that flourished in Kyoto, a city considered the cultural center of Japan, is known as Kyo-shippou (Kyoto cloisonné).
