Negoro-nuri (根来塗り) is a traditional Japanese lacquerware technique. It is characterized by a distinctive style where the lacquerware is coated with multiple layers of red lacquer, which is then polished to expose the black undercoat. The result is a unique, worn appearance where the contrast between the red and black layers creates a visually striking, aged look.

A Japanese hibachi is a traditional heating device or firepot used in Japan to warm spaces and prepare food. The word "hibachi" is derived from the Japanese words "hi" (fire) and "bachi" (bowl), which refers to a bowl with fire.

Today, hibachis are still used in traditional Japanese homes, but they have also become popular as decorative objects and collectibles due to their historical and artistic value. Many people use them as decorative elements in their interiors.
