Cloisonne Decorative Plate "Red Fuji & Cherry Blossoms" — A Rare and Auspicious VisionCloisonné, known in Japan as Shippo (七宝), takes its name from the seven treasures of Buddhist tradition: gold, silver, lapis lazuli, coral, pearl, agate, and squilla. This ancient art form traces its origins to the ornaments of King Tutankhamun's crown — a craft with over 2,500 years of history.Introduced to Japan from China and Korea around 600 B.C., cloisonné flourished during the 16th century and was further refined in the 19th century when German chemist Wagner developed a specialized glaze that gave rise to the distinctly Japanese style we celebrate today.This plate captures one of Japan's most celebrated and rare natural phenomena: Red Fuji (赤富士), the fleeting crimson glow of Mt. Fuji seen only on clear summer mornings. It is said that a wish comes true if you witness it. Paired with delicate cherry blossoms, this piece radiates good fortune and the timeless beauty of Japan. According to Feng Shui, placing a red object to the east brings increased luck.
