Transcript
In the Victorian era, nature was the height of fashion, and a little strangeness was part of the appeal. That obsession reached a new level when shibiyama work from Japan arrived in England in the mid nineteenth century. It's a technique that layers tiny pieces of shell, coral, horn, tortoiseshell, and mother of pearl into an ivory or lacquer or silver face. It's like a sculptural micromosaic. It's delicate and unsettling, and English buyers loved it. When trade between Japan and the Best opened in the 1850s, Shibuya pieces began appearing at world's fairs and in luxury shops across London. Collectors were astonished by the precision. Even seasoned jewelers claimed they had never seen insects rendered with such accuracy. So British jewelers quickly went about adapting the technique for their own market. They set these little buggy plaques, these little shibayama insects into cufflinks, brooches, earrings, best cases, things that wouldn't even really totally be recognizable in Japan at the time. For English people, a tiny Japanese insect tableau on your cigarette holder instantly signaled that you worse worldly, modern, and plugged in to the international art scene. My favorite detail in Shibuyaume insect jewelry is the engraving of legs, antenna, and sometimes these wiggly, like, movement lines cut into the metal around the inlay. It's, look at those teeny tiny details.
