Ando Jubei
Japanese artist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ando Jubei (1876–1956)[1] was a Japanese cloisonné artist from Nagoya.[2][3][4] Along with Hayashi Kodenji, he dominated Nagoya's enameling industry in the late Meiji era.[5] Ando, Namikawa Yasuyuki, and Namikawa Sōsuke are considered the three artists whose technical innovations brought in the "Golden Age for Japanese cloisonné" in the late 19th century.[6]
Ando was the Meiji era's most prolific creator of presentation wares: artworks that were commissioned by members of the Imperial Family for presentation to foreign dignitaries.[7] He exhibited at the Japan–British Exhibition of 1910.[8]
His work is held in the collections of the Walters Art Museum,[9] the Ashmolean Museum[10] and in the Khalili Collection of Japanese Art.[11]
The Ando Cloisonné Company continues his work.
