KAWARI-NURI > NEGORO-NURI

Today, Negoro-nuri is called either "modern" Negoro-nuri or "Ko"(old) Negoronuri, which purposely imitate the genuine Negoro-nuri that has aged to the point that the black Urushi has appeared from under the red Urushi. There is also Akebono-nuri, which is the look of black Urushi surface and red Urushi reappears after it is worn out. The "modern" Negoro-nuri and "modern" Akebono-nuri are all finished in Riro-migaki, burnished to bring out the luster of the Urushi. Since this is a Nuri (painting) work, a Nu-shi like Nakakado-san specializes in this Nuri.
