		According to one theory, a priest from Negoroji Temple in Kishu (an area that today is Wakayama-ken and Mie-ken) came to Jurenji Temple in Wajima, made furniture for the temple and passed lacquerware skills on to people in the area.
		According to another theory, which is the preferred one in Wajima, when Negoroji Temple was burned down by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1585, the priests left that area and carried these special skills to distant places, such as Aizu and Wajima.
		In any case, the common point of these theories leads us to believe that the origin of Wajima Lacquerware must be Negoro-nuri, which is supposedly the oldest practical lacquerware in Japan.
