[ A BRIEF HISTORY OF THIS PRODUCT ]
Kishu Lacquerware, also known as Kuroe-nuri, is produced in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan . The characteristics of Kishu Lacquerware are its simplicity, durability, and practicality. Kishu Lacquerware articles have been popular as household goods since the Edo Period, and are also famous for their random patterning made by the vermillion surface wearing away to reveal the black undercoat. This effect is said to have originated from negoro-nuri, which was made by the monks of Negoro-dera Temple in Iwade City, Wakayama Prefecture. They produced articles such as dining tables, bowls, trays and small shrines which were used at the temple. As they were simple articles for daily use, their finish was a coating of vermillion lacquer over a black lacquer undercoat. Over time and with use, the vermillion lacquer surface would gradually wear away, revealing patches of the black lacquer undercoat; the surprising random nature of the process was considered part of the charm of negoro-nuri.

Japanese lacquer is made from the sap of the urushi tree. Lacquer sap is also called urushi. Painting on the lacquer coatings is called nuru in shops Japanese. This is why lacquerware is also referred to as nurumono, or short nuri, elsewhere but in Wakayama the lacquerware items are called Kishu shikki.
