In the medieval period, Negoro utensils and vessels were used primarily by monks residing in Buddhist monasteries and priests of Shinto shrines, as well as by aristocrats and high-ranking warriors.Candlesticks are rare among Negoro lacquers. These were probably originally placed before a Buddhist altar. The powerful curves of the base and the bamboo motif of the stem were formed on a lathe. Over years of use, the top layer of red lacquer has worn off, and the underlying black has become visible..
