**Totai shippo, meaning ''body cloisonné,'' is a Japanese ceramic technique where urushi lacquer cloisonne decoration is applied to a ceramic or porcelain base. This difficult technique was developed around 1868 by Sukamoto Kaisuke. Totai shippo or “Tree-bark” cloisonne is rela...tively fragile due to the delicate multi-layering and surfacing technique.
