「しかし、春になるとワシントンD.C.にやって来る人々は、それと知らずにシドモアの遺産を守り続けている。シドモアは1885年に初めて日本を訪れてから30年近く、その間6度交代した政権に対し、ポトマック河畔のタイダルベイスンに桜の木を植えるよう陳情し続けた。1912年、大統領夫人のヘレン・タフトが3000本の桜の最初の1本を植樹したとき、シドモアも立ち会った。 」

Vase.  Kyoto, Japan. 1900-1905.  Cloisonné enamel, silver wire, applied with silver rim and foot

height 17.3 cm.  A cloisonné enamel vase with a squat rounded body and tall slightly flared neck worked in silver wire with stems of trailing wisteria, the flowers in shaded tones of purple and the leaves in pale green, on a pale green-brown ground. Applied with silver rim and foot.  The depiction of the wisteria is extraordinarily naturalistic within the canons of that style of Nihonga painting Namikawa followed, which owed a direct debt to the Shijo school. The use of wire as an entity in itself, where it does not enclose enamel, is visible here for the first time, the tendrils tailing off into sprigs of wire.  Text and image via Khalili Collection
