It has been suggested that the technique was introduced via the western province of Yunnan, which, under Mongol rule, received an influx of Islamic people. Cloisonné objects were intended primarily for the furnishing of temples and palaces, because their flamboyant splendour was considered appropriate to the function of these structures, but not well suited to a more restrained atmosphere, such as that of a scholar’s home. This opinion was expressed by Cao Zhao in 1388 in his influential Gegu Yaolun (Guide to the Study of Antiquities), in which cloisonné was dismissed as being suitable only for lady’s chambers. However, by the period of Emperor Xuande, this ware came to be greatly prized at court.

Written and first staged in 1748, its authors were the three playwrights Takeda Izumo II, Miyoshi Shōraku and Namiki Senryū. The story of the 47 rōnin who avenged the death of their lord is often cited as an example of the samurai code of honour known as bushido. It is a tremendous human drama involving many characters caught in a complex web of loyalties that demand devotion to and sacrifice for an altruistic cause. Perhaps this is the most powerful attraction in modern Japan, and the reason for its enduring popularity.
