Lacquer on wood (Negoro lacquer)

Negoro lacquer derived its name from the Buddhist temple of Negoro-ji, located in the mountains of present-day Wakayama Prefecture, just south of Osaka. Established in 1243 as a temple of esoteric Buddhist practice, Negoro-ji thrived during the Kamakura, Muromachi and Azuchi-Momoyama periods and at its height of influence during the sixteenth century had a population of approximately 6000 monks, who lived in an estimated eighty monasteries and attended up to 2700 sub-temples and shrines. Buddhist philosophies demanded that temple life and rituals were conducted in a simple and restrained manner, and from these early times of esoteric Buddhist practice red objects were regarded as auspicious and suitable to accompany a monk’s everyday existence. It is believed that this combination of a simple, unadorned lifestyle and the auspicious associations with the colour red led to the production of high quality and durable lacquer utensils in and around the environs of Negoro-ji and at other workshops in the cultural centres of Japan.
