A beautiful and somewhat varied collection, with excellent background information. If the exhibit had greater variety, and a little less focus on Ando in favor of other artists who are not represented, it would provide the perfect reference as it almost does. It would also be nice to see some representation of recent common products to aid in differential identification with Meiji, Taisho and Showa period wares. A must buy for the Japanese cloisonne afficionado nonetheless.

I found this to be a handsome and helpful book. Well written with great photographs. Very useful to the collector or the student of Japanese Cloisonne. Chuck

As collectors we found the book an exceptional resource. The artwork alone (excellent color prints of various objects created in Japan over the decades) makes this an excellent value. The book shows the development of this art form in Japan since its introduction and includes numerous objects from museum collections or of museum quality. An excellent addition to antique collector or art book collections (our library includes both).
