About
The allure of Owari Shippo lies in its indescribable "depth of color." The thickness of the glaze, the temperature of the fire, the brilliance of the metal base... Even slight variations in conditions can cause the appearance to change like a kaleidoscope. It would be a shame to simply admire this art form, which Nagoya is proud of, and leave it at that. After observing the masterful work of skilled artisans up close, it's finally your turn. The vibrant glaze is applied, the piece is placed in the kiln, and the elation of seeing the brilliance come to life is felt. The finished piece is a "crystal of light" that is uniquely yours. Enjoy a moment of immersion in the delicate and luxurious mag...

This is an exclusive workshop tour of Owari Shippo (Cloisonné), led by a master craftsman. The history of this exquisite craft dates back to the Tenpo era (1830–1844), when the technique was developed through the study of cloisonné plates brought by Dutch ships. As one of Japan’s most iconic traditional crafts, Owari Shippo is renowned for its intricate patterns, created by firing glass glaze onto a metal base.
