fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
Negoro is a lacquer technique, named after the Negoro temple in Japan, in which several layers of red lacquer are applied over a black lacquer undercoating. Through years of handling, a natural surface of red and black random patterns emerges, an aesthetic highly prized by the Japanese.
