Info on theinternet from Asian Art Newspaper\'Yet another former samurai, Inaba Isshin, who had begun working with enamels in 1875, founded the Inaba Company of Kyoto, in 1886, mentioned by the collector Donald K. Gerber as the place where he first encountered the ‘revelation’ of Japanese cloisonné. The company’s achievements were eclectic, combining designs and techniques from both Kyoto and Nagoya, and continued production until the 1990s.\'
