These lots have been imported from outside the EU … 顯示更多 Negoro lacquer is instantly recognisable due to the worn red and black lacquer surface, the unique patterns of which have been brought out through use and transfigured by the passage of time. Features such as wear, cracks and traces of the brush used for lacquering, all help to enhance the ineffable, harmonious beauty of the surface of negoro lacquer. It is these qualities that result in negoro lacquer being so appreciated by tea masters and admired by those of refined taste.

This tray was used for ritual offerings in a Shinto shrine. It was made by whittling the rotated camphor tree and applying cloth around the rim under the lacquer. The scratches on the surface were probably made when the offerings were cut on the tray.
