Namikawa's Workroom, 1910 - A Glimpse into the Artistry of Meiji-Era Japan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to Namikawa's workroom in Kyoto during the year 1910. Captured by Herbert Ponting, a renowned photographer and author, this image showcases the craftsmanship and concentration of Namikawa San, an artisan credited with popularizing Japanese cloisonné during the Meiji Era. Seated cross-legged on the floor with his legs crossed, Namikawa San is deeply engrossed in his craft. Surrounded by tools and machinery specific to his trade, he meticulously works on a vase at his potter's wheel. The room exudes an air of industry as other skilled artisans can be seen focused on their own creations in the background. Ponting's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into the rich artistic heritage of Japan. Namikawa San represents generations of dedication to perfecting traditional techniques passed down through centuries. Through this image from "In Lotus-Land Japan" we are transported to an era where artistry thrived within these workshop walls. It serves as a reminder that behind every beautiful piece lies countless hours of skillful labor and unwavering commitment. As we admire this remarkable snapshot from history, let us appreciate not only Namikawa San's talent but also those who continue to preserve and carry forward such exquisite craftsmanship for future generations to cherish.
