HISTORY: Master craftsman, Ando Jubei established his shop in Nagoya in 1881. Instrumental in several cloisonne innovations such as: clear enamel over repousse base, and opaque cloisonne moriage enamel motifs over opaque base, as well as plique-a-jour inspired by a French artist. His chief foremen for workshop production were Kaji Sataro, grandson of Tsunekichi from 1881 to 1897, and in 1897 Kawade Shibataro (1856-1921?), who was innovative and highly skilled. Ando Jubei's work was exhibited at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE), San Francisco. Ando copper and enamel pieces are held in many important private collections and many major museum collections and are often sold at major auctions of Japanese art by Christie's and Sotheby's.
