New arrival “Black Negoro lacquerware heishi”

2023/04/15

Today, it’s our pleasure to share a set of ” Black Negoro lacquerware heishi “.

The provenance of the piece is unclear, but the form of this heishi with its broad shoulders narrowing down in linear fashion to its base is reminiscent of ancient styles. The entire piece is finished using the Black Negoro nuri technique. The inside of the spout is the only place where red lacquer can be found. Although presently almost imperceptible, there are three chrysanthemum crests painted in red lacquer on both the base and shoulder of the bottle, reminding one of the splendors of days gone by.

An insert is included so that it can be used as a flower vase.
