Kamejo (meaning ‘turtle woman’) was the name of Mrs Tsumura Kamejo (died 1772) who produced bronze sculptures using the lost-wax casting technique in the mid-to-late Edo period (1600-1868). Kamejo inherited her father’s foundry after his death and continued the family business in Hizen, Nagasaki, Japan. Kamejo took commissions for her inventive incense burners modelled after mandarin ducks and quails.
