NEGORO
Undecorated, sturdy NEGORO utensils, originally made for
serving communal meals and storing precious objects and sutras or for ritual offerings in Buddhist temples and Shinto
shrines, where little known in the West until recent decades.
In Japan, however, lacquers known as NEGORO have inspired
nostalgic admiration since the seventeenth century, when the large monastic communities that created and used them
began to give way before the increasingly commercial urban society of Edo Japan.
NEGORO lacquers offer the satisfying pleasure of fine
workmanship and durable, functional design that evolved through long use. The structural strength and starkly
simple beauty of
NEGORO grow out of a tradition of craftsmanship that is universally held in high regard; but it is a
Japanese aesthetic that has given rise to an appreciation of the object‘s worn and mottled surfaces, on which traces of the
black base coat appear beneath the red lacquer.
