Namikawa Cloisonne Museum of Kyoto

The Seven Treasures Memorial Hall in Binhe Jing, located in the eastern mountain area of Kyoto, Japan, is a good place to experience Japanese culture deeply, although there is no grand exhibition hall. It can feel the deep pursuit of Japanese national soul through cultural relics.

The Seven Treasures Memorial Hall in Hejing displays a lot of cloisonne from Japan. It originates from China. It is brilliant, brilliant and extremely beautiful.

The Seven Treasures Memorial Hall in Binhe Jing is a museum showing the works of Japanese Seven Treasures artist Binhe Jing Zhi. Binhe Jing Zhi (1845-1927), the third son of the right guard gate of Kowloon Yokogawa of Kawakawa (Saitama Prefecture) in Wuzang, was adopted as an adoptive son by the courtier of Qinglian Palace in the second year of Anzheng (1855), and his surname was changed to Binhe. Meiji set up Qibao factory in Kyoto around three years (1870). He successfully produced his first unique work in Meiji Six Years (1873) by using the cable Qibao technology of Chu Changji, combined with the black transparent glaze invented by him and the golden and silver thread pinning technique of fine work. In the seventh year of Meiji (1874), Sarano Takai, a disciple of Hamamoto Changji School (1828-1887), learned the skills of Qibao, and improved the glaze of Qibao under the guidance of Gottfried Wagner, a German. His masterpiece "Flowers and Birds of the Four Seasons in the Black Ground" participated in the 1900 Paris Expo and was collected by the Royal family. He became a representative of the senior Seven Treasures in Meiji Period. In 1896, he was appointed as an imperial craftsman together with Tao Chuan, who was also active in making wireless Seven Treasures in Tokyo. In 2008, 141 works, pictures, tools and other related items were collected in the Memorial Hall of Binhe Jingzhi. They were listed as "National Registered Tangible Cultural Property" (the material and cultural heritage of the State of Japan) under the title "Seven Treasures of Binhe Jingzhi".

There are not many people who display Cloisonne in Japan. Every piece of work reveals the ingenuity of nature.

It has a long history and is simple and generous. It's worth visiting.
