Antique a pair of Japanese bronze plates

NOT AVAILABLE.

Antique a pair of Japanese bronze plates, 19th century. Dimensions: 2.0 X 25.0 cm.

At the start of the Meiji era, Japanese metalwork was almost totally unknown outside the country, unlike lacquer and porcelain which had previously been exported. The Meiji era (明治, Meiji) is an era of Japanese history which extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912.

Metalwork was connected to Buddhist practice, for example in the use of bronze for temple bells and incense cauldrons, so there were fewer opportunities for metalworkers once Buddhism was displaced as the state religion.

International exhibitions brought Japanese cast bronze to a new foreign audience, attracting strong praise. The past history of samurai weaponry equipped Japanese metalworkers to create metallic finishes in a wide range of colors.

By combining and finishing copper, silver and gold in different proportions, they created specialised alloys including shakudō and shibuichi.

With this variety of alloys and finishes, an artist could give the impression of full-colour decoration.
