Later, modern cloisonne enamel ware began to be used, especially for flat objects such as accessories and school emblems.

Mud cloisonne enamel ware has many advantages: it can be made in large sizes, it can be colored with cloisonne enamel only where necessary, there is no need to glaze the inner surface, and the base material is durable. Cloisonne ware was produced in large quantities mainly for export from the Meiji period (1868-1912), and continued to be made until around 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThe entire manufacturing process was done by hand, requiring a great deal of skill, and cloisonne enamel ware was never produced outside of Kyoto, where the division of labor was well organized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eAfter the war, cloisonne enamel ware production in Kyoto resumed, but there were no more workshops specializing in cloisonne enamel ware coloring.

Cloisonne enamel ware techniques can be roughly divided into two types: inlaying cloisonne and wired cloisonne. In inlaying cloisonné, the boundary lines that demarcate the glaze are made by casting, while in wired cloisonné, silver wire is welded to the glaze. Most modern cloisonne enamel works are made by the wired method, and it seems that only Wadokan continues to produce zogan cloisonne enamel works today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/wadokan_adefe315-dfef-45b7-94f3-0be15d0bcb0d.png?v=1757316268\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eInheriting Traditional Techniques\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eMost modern cloisonne enamel works are wired, and Wadokan is the only company that continues to produce inlaying cloisonne enamel works today.\u003cbr\u003eWadokan's Zogan cloisonne enamel ware uses an opaque glaze, which produces an opaque, matte color after firing.\u003cbr\u003eThe classic design of this product gives a sense of time-honored tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Contribution to Craftsman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDue to the market structure (link for full articles are attached bottom), craftsman have not known who the customer is and how customer reacts to their work.
