    This exhibition is drawn from the Stephen W. Fisher collection of Japanese cloisonné enamels, one of the finest in the world. Comprised largely of pieces created during Japan’s "golden age" of decorative art production, this collection features many intricately adorned vases, boxes, and trays worked in gold, silver, and dazzling colored enamels. Reaching their artistic maturity in the 1870s and being aggressively produced through the first decades of the 20th century, cloisonné enamels played an important role in Japan’s assertion of its own modernity in the newly opened international markets. Production of these brightly colored works was stimulated by worldwide demand fed by Japan’s participation in international expositions and world’s fairs. Masterworks of cloisonné were sent as showpieces to the expositions where they served both to meet European expectations of Asian exoticism and inspired the development of international modern decorative styles. Many of the distinctive styles that emerged during this period are represented by outstanding examples in the Fisher collection, including works by the masters Namikawa Yasuyuki, Namikawa Sosuke, and Ando Jubei. The exhibition consists of approximately 125 objects chosen to illustrate the wide range of forms, styles, and techniques that have come to define the high point in the production of Japanese enamel. There is an accompanying illustrated catalog, Japanese Cloisonné Enamels, published by the Walters Art Museum, December 2009.
