🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

呂 (spine/bath) and 色 (color) combine to form ろいろ, a unique jukujikun reading where 呂 is read ロ, not its usual On'yomi リョ. 色は read いろ. It refers to a deep, lustrous, highly polished black lacquer finish, characterized by its superb smoothness and depth.

日本語解説

呂と色を組み合わせた特殊な読みで「ろいろ」と読みます。呂を通常音読みの「りょ」と読まないことに注意。艶やかな漆の黒色仕上げで、特に光沢が深く、滑らかな漆器の表面を指します。
