Japanese Boxes, We Like?

Here is a drawered cabinet I bought for my daughter as a tool box about 20 years ago, but she has not yet been able to claim it yet. (Small problem of shipping.)

During a giant spring clean last week, it appeared out of the rat's nest!

That seems an unusual 'painted'(?) finish Piers?

 

Looks rather brightish orange.  Is it traditional.....old finish or more recent?

Agreed. Possibly an attempt to make it look like Negoro-nuri, red over black. This was exactly how I saw it an an early morning antiques market in Fukuyama long ago. Despite the funky colour, I rather liked it! B-)
