Talk:Japanese lacquerware

Japanese Name

Japanese normally call this "urushi". Shikki and nurimono are much less common. I think it might be good to rewrite the introduction to reflect the normal conversational Japanese name of "urushi" for Japanese lacquerware. --Westwind273 (talk) 18:37, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

"Japan" as a nickname for lacquerware

I haven't been able to find a reference for this uncited statement, so I'm moving it out of the article but quoting it here in case someone can find a citation for it. "The export of lacquer to the West led to it being historically referred to as Japan, analogous to China for Chinese ceramics." MartinPoulter (talk) 14:00, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
