| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Understanding the Meiji Restoration’s effects on Kyoto’s makie lacquer industry not only gives us historical insight but also helps us to anticipate the future of today’s declining lacquer industry. But to do so, we first had to clarify the distinctions between makie lacquers made in Kyoto during the Edo period and those made during the modern era. This study, encompassing over 1000 works of Japanese makie from diverse collections in Japan, the U.K., France, Holland, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.S.A, focuses on works with signatures or accompanying acquisition-related evidence. Through observations and comparisons, this study distinguishes between early modern and modern lacquers, as well as between modern makie lacquers made in Kyoto and those made elsewhere. Another positive outcome of this research has been the fostering of a network of colleagues and collectors around the world, forming the basis for future international cooperation in the study of Japanese lacquer.
