Product description
There are objects that wear time like others wear jewelry. This Negoro lacquer natsume is one of them. Its deep vermilion red, worn down at contact points to reveal the original black lacquer beneath, tells a direct story of hands that have held it, lids lifted and replaced, and years—perhaps decades—of tea ceremonies.
The Negoro-nuri technique, born in the Negoro-ji Buddhist monastery in the 13th century, consists of applying several layers of black lacquer to wood, then covering them with red lacquer. With time and use, the red naturally wears away at friction points, revealing the black beneath. This is not a flaw: it is precisely this effect that tea enthusiasts and collectors seek, this jidai (the age that shines through) which gives the piece its unique and irreplaceable character.
The horizontal moldings of the body, the flared ring foot, the simple mushroom knob: everything here is classic, balanced, and designed to last. And it has lasted. Only one available, a piece that time has made even more beautiful than when it was born.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the red lacquer show black in places?
This is the Negoro-nuri technique: several layers of black lacquer are covered with red lacquer, which wears naturally over time and reveals the black beneath.
Should this wear be restored?
No, the existing wear is part of the piece's quality; never try to restore or re-lacquer it.
How do I look after it?
Clean it only with a soft, dry cloth, never damp, and avoid direct heat, prolonged sunlight or sudden changes in humidity.
