Kantaro Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 I have this work already a few years. Is it Japanese? It makes me think about Japanese cloisonne enamels you can find on vases or boxes or a very complicated cloisonne sand painting. Never seen it on a wooden flat surface. Suppose it is modern. The surface of the cloisonne seems closed with a thick varnish. Someone knows or can read the Mei? It is a little gem and must have taken a lot of work to make. Will be happy with all possible info. Kind regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kantaro Posted August 4 Author Report Share Posted August 4 Thanks Piers, much appreciated. "Kametani Kakushō (亀谷 鶴嶂, 1955-) is a Japanese calligrapher. Born in Ōsaka pref. In 1988, became a judge for the Tōkyō Shogei-in exhibition. Held a private exhibition many times." Seems written a bit different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugyotsuji Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Yes, it's a different Kanji, but that does not always mean it is a different person. Sometimes people changed their kanji during their lifetime, especially artists! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantaro Posted August 4 Author Report Share Posted August 4 I found on ebay an item located in California who seems to be made with a similar "cloisonne sand painting" techniques. It is more basic and without the closing technique with varnish. Has anyone seen a "similar" work as mine?
