Bowl with legs, 16th century, Unknown Japanese, 5 × 13 11/16 × 13 7/16 in. ( × × cm), Negoro ware; lacquer over wooden core, Japan, Negoro, The term for this particular type of lacquerware is derived from the name of the Buddhist temple, Negoroji. The temple stood from 1288–1585 in today’s Wakayama Prefecture, and produced lacquered items for daily use for the nearly 6,000 monks who, at its height, lived in the temple complex. However, the ware is more broadly defined as undecorated, high-quality red and black lacquered objects used in Buddhist temples from the Kamakura period
