It is a traditional painting method that leaves the brush marks of the lacquer unlevelled. Because it is finished by craftsmen by hand, the brush marks will look slightly different from one another. What are Negoro-nuri and Akebono-nuri? It is a lacquer art technique that has been cherished and loved as "Negoro pattern," which becomes more flavorful the more it is used, as the black lacquer under the vermilion paint appears like a black pattern. The name comes from the fact that it originated from the monks of Negoro-ji Temple in Kishu. The painting method is to apply vermilion paint over black paint and carefully polish it. The opposite color of Negoro-nuri, a black base with a vermilion pattern, is called "Akebono-nuri." The base color is carefully polished by hand. There are individual differences in the appearance, and the characteristics differ, but please enjoy it as a unique lacquer painting pattern. ■ Item Number wa-08030 ■ Size (approx.)
