--【Features】--------------------------------------------------------
The most distinctive feature is the depth of flavor that increases with use, achieved through a unique technique of layering red lacquer over black lacquer.

As the item is used over many years, the red lacquer on the surface gradually wears away, allowing the black lacquer underneath to show through naturally.
The resulting mottled patterns and scratches, born by chance, are highly valued by enthusiasts as the charm of Negoro.

Because it was originally made for daily use by monks at Negoro-ji Temple in Wakayama Prefecture, it is extremely durable. It possesses a practicality that allows it to be used as an everyday item without special care.

Many pieces feature a minimalist design, stripped of ornamentation, giving them a simple yet modern beauty that blends well with contemporary interiors.

The lacquer coating is tough and offers excellent water resistance, heat insulation, and anti-corrosion properties.

Overall, it is in beautiful condition with no noticeable scratches or stains.
