EXQUISITEANTIQUE JAPANESE NEGORO LACQUERDISH
Edo / Meiji Period 1800\'s GorgeousJapanese red and black lacquerplate withbrilliant handlacquered coloration. Negoro ware is named after its original place of manufacture at the Negoro temple in Japan\'s Kii Province during the fourteenth century. The objects are crafted from wood and then lacquered, first with black and then with vermilion. The red lacquer wears away gradually and irregularly with use, producing the effect of natural aging for which these pieces are highly appreciated. Stunning hand carving with raised plum blossoms and bold, graphic imagery. The central triangle most likely has deep symbolic meaning. In Japanese mythology it represents harmony, and in Shinto, the stars of the cosmos.
