Shippo is a craft art with a thousand years of history and tradition, in which vitreous glaze is fired onto metal. The shippo that flowered in Kyoto — which may well be called a first-magnitude star as the centre of Japanese culture — is known as Kyoto Shippo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Master of Fifty Years\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the makers of Kyoto Shippo, only a handful have more than 50 years of experience, and the maker Yoshihiro Akagawa is held to be one of the outstanding masters among them. The greatest mark of his technique is that he commands every stage of a craft normally divided among specialists, from making the base to the final polishing. This allows him to create forms, patterns and colours as intricate as a mandala, shaping them freely wherever his imagination leads. Please enjoy the exceptional beauty of colour by a leading figure of Kyoto Shippo, commended as a person of merit in traditional industrial technique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA One-of-a-Kind Panel to Display\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA framed ceramic work we also recommend for the decoration of an executive office, or to hang in a fine home.
