Japanese Negoro Lacquered Lidded Box
A beautiful Japanese Negoro lacquered Lidded Box crafted using a traditional layering technique. Artisans applied red lacquer before adding a layer of black lacquer. Years of use gradually revealed the rich red lacquer beneath, creating the distinctive appearance that defines Negoro ware.
Strong Zen Buddhist influences shaped the development of this lacquer style. Skilled craftsmen created wooden Buddhist sculptures, temple furnishings, and ritual objects using the same techniques. They valued the natural wear of lacquer and saw beauty in age, use, and craftsmanship.
