Owarishippo (cloisonne ware)
Bringing the skills together -- A tradition of brilliance
 |
Refined and luxurious Owarishippo goods are manufactured through separate processes mostly in domestic factories. Every piece of craftwork, the fruit of original technique, has been highly evaluated and loved by many people. In order to transmit the structure culture and history of Owarishippo which differ from those of other ceramic ware, Shippo Town Shippoyaki Manufactures Cooperative and Nagoya Shippo Cooperative are working together on promotional activities for securing, training and encouraging successors. |
