專家說明
Around 1873 Komai Otojiro started selling damascened ironwares in Kobe, a centre of foreign trade, and within a few years his chargers, plaques, cabinets, model pagodas, and vases were in such demand that he was prosperous enough to buy a large house. The name of Komai seldom appears, however, in the lists of artists for international or national exhibitions until 1903, presumably because a Kyoto dealer, Ikeda Seisuke, marketed most of their work. It was Ikeda, for example, who won a gold medal at the Paris Universal exposition of 1900 for a plate of gold and silver which may well have come from the Komai workshop.
