Japanese tripod Koro from the Meiji Period (1868-1912). This is a rare and beautiful antique koro censer, created in the imperial Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912), circa 1900. It was carefully crafted in solid bronze and copper with silver wires and embellished with applications of polychromatic Cloisonné enamels and aventurine. The designs depict organics and natural motifs such mythological animals and flowers. The Chrysanthemum Symbol In Imperial Japan, the chrysanthemum (Kiku) was a potent symbol of the imperial family and the emperor himself, representing longevity, royalty, and divine power. The 16-petaled chrysanthemum is the Imperial Seal and crest, found on passports, coins, and the Chrysanthemum Throne. This association dates back to the Kamakura period (1185–1333), particularly with Emperor Go-Toba's fondness for the flower, establishing its link to imperial authority and lineage. The connection between the chrysanthemum and the imperial family began when Emperor Go-Toba adopted it as a personal emblem, aligning it with the strength and refinement of the emperor's rule. During the Meiji Period, the 16-petaled chrysanthemum crest, solidifying the association with the imperial family, was established during this time. The Meiji Imperial Period This is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912.The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas. As a result of such wholesale adoption of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound, and affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji. It was preceded by the Keiō era and was succeeded by the Taishō era, upon the accession of Emperor Taishō. Country: Imperial Japan. Period: Meiji, 1890-1910. Technique: Silver Wire Cloisonné over copper and bronze. Weight: 416.80 Grams, (0.417 Kg). Measurements:118 mm by 115 mm (4.65 x 4.52 Inches). Koro This term refers to a Japanese censer, incense burner, perfume burner or pastille burner is a vessel made for burning incense or perfume in some solid form. They vary greatly in size, form, and material of construction, and have been in use since ancient times throughout the world. They may consist of simple earthenware bowls or fire pots to intricately carved silver or gold vessels, small tabletop objects a few centimeters tall to as many as several meters high. Many designs use openwork to allow a flow of air. In many cultures, burning incense has spiritual and religious connotations, and this influences the design and decoration of the censer. Cloisonné This is an enameling technique in which the pattern is formed by wires soldered to the surface of the object to be decorated, which is usually made from copper, forming cells or cloisons, each of which holds a single colour of enamel paste which is then fired, and ground and polished. The champleve technique also uses an enameling technique, but the cells are formed by carving into the surface of the object, or in the casting. The cloisonne technique has been in use since the 12th century BC in the west, but the technique did not reach China until the 13th or 14th century. It became popular in China in the 18th century. Initially bronze or brass bodies were used, and in the 19th century copper, at which time the quality of the items produced began to decline. Chinese cloisonné is the best-known enamel cloisonné, though the Japanese produced large quantities from the mid-19th century, of very high technical quality. In the west the cloisonne technique was revived in the mid-19th century following imports from China, and its use continued in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.
