Sukamoto Kaisuke (1828-1887) is believed to have been the one who discovered, some time around 1868, the technique of applying cloisonné enamels to ceramic vessels. The innovation was relatively short-lived.

Unlike most cloisonne forms that involves copper, silver or gold wire cloisonne to be attached to a copper base, this method

affixed the wire cloisonne to a porcelain body prior to firing.
