It is estimated that lacquer, which is handed down in Namwon-si, was the foundation of Shilsangsa Temple in Jirisan Mountain, and its origin was achieved by making woodcrafts such as bowls and jegae for the Buddha. After that, research and technology were developed by Yang Ki-soo, a natural lacquerware master, when Korea's first woodworking school was established during the Japanese Colonial Period.

Depending on how sap is collected, lacquer is made in various colors, including raw paint and painting, with natural lacquer gin, while painted craftsmanship has a subtle brown color as it ages. In addition, the products completed through the painting of chaebol up to 67 times have a very good effect on desiccation, waterproofing, insect repellent, and polishing.

Kim Eul-saeng of Namwon and Lee Eui-sik of Jeonju, who have been running three generations of lacquerware, have passed down the wood painting business to continue the tradition of lacquer techniques.
