Description from the seller
Item Description:
Akira Shibata 柴田明 (1950-2022) - Cloisonné Enamel Abstract Pattern Vase with Wired Technique, 2009
This elegant cloisonné enamel vase showcases the masterful technique of renowned Japanese enamel artist Akira Shibata.
Created in 2009, this piece exemplifies his signature "Yusen Shippo" (wired cloisonné enamel) technique, featuring sophisticated abstract patterns that demonstrate his exceptional skill and artistic vision.
The vase displays a harmonious blend of colors and flowing abstract designs, characteristic of Shibata's modern interpretation of the traditional Japanese cloisonné technique.
The wired technique creates defined sections that hold the vibrant enamel glazes, resulting in a striking visual effect that changes with the light.
This work comes with its original signed wooden box (tomobako) and certificate booklet (shiori), confirming its authenticity and provenance.
The piece represents an excellent example of contemporary Japanese metalwork and would be a distinguished addition to any collection of modern Japanese crafts or cloisonné enamel art.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
