In this piece, the wires define the cat’s form and expressions, while black polishing adds depth and dimension. The interplay of translucent enamel and silver lines creates a delicate, almost ethereal effect. This technique requires precision and artistry, and reflects the artisan’s deep observation and affection for the cat motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"2232\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1775\" data-end=\"1796\"\u003eAbout the Artisan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1799\"\u003eKeiko Sera is a cloisonné artist based in Narashino City, Chiba Prefecture.

The result is a lustrous, jewel-like surface with vibrant, translucent colors. The word “shippō” (七宝) originates from Buddhism and refers to the seven treasures: gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, coral, agate, and pearl. Cloisonné combines stunning color with deep cultural meaning, making it both a decorative and auspicious piece of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2750\" data-end=\"2908\"\u003eThis cat brooch is perfect not only for cat lovers but also for anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and the subtle beauty of Japanese traditional art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2750\" data-end=\"2908\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFree shipping :\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe product price includes shipping.
