It is believed that it was Ando Jubei who introduced the technique of totai-jippo and shotai-jippo to Japan; he supposedly first saw such work, made by Fernand Thesmar, at the Paris Exposition of 1900, where he purchased a piece from which Kawade Shibataro is said to have been able to discover the methods of manufacture.
