Did a Google images search, and this one popped up. What I find interesting is that these obviously Chinese cloisonne products - dragon beads, sake bottles, small cups, inro - are never described as Chinese. Always "Japanese." "The vendor's description: Description: Shippou balls obidome, with obijime. Shippou is Japanese cloisonné enamel. An Obidome is worn on an obijime and positioned at the front of an obi. Obidome make extremely nice collectors' items, as they come is such a big variety of shapes, sizes and prices. Many obidome, especially antique ones, require a slightly narrower than standard obijime, known as a sanbuhimo When an obijime is worn with an obidome on it, the obidome sits at the front of the sash and the obijime is tied inside the rear knot. The jewellery at the front is known as an obidome but an obijime with an obidome on it is also just called and obidome. Made and bought in Japan" Hmmmmm.....
