Kissho Japanese Painting Pigments, Watercolor Paints in Bottles, 30-Color Set No. 2

Historically known as mud pigments (earth pigments), these paints were made using mud and soil excavated from the mountains. Suikan pigments are so named because these materials are refined with water to remove impurities, and then dried into sheets. With the increasing diversity of colors, artificial pigments have been added, allowing for a wide range of colors to be produced. While Kichijo's suikan pigments boast a high-quality and extensive color lineup thanks to new manufacturing methods, the basic manufacturing process remains unchanged from ancient times. ●Set of 30 colors in approximately 20cc stick bottles No. 2 ●31 Dark Gray, 32 Light Ochre, 33 Peony, 34 Young Leaf, 35 White, 36 Black Tea, 37 Coral, 38 Indigo Green, 39 Golden Brown, 40 Sky Blue, 41 Dove Feather, 42 Azuki Bean Tea, 43 Ultramarine, 44 Ochre, 45 White Green, 46 Beautiful Indigo, 47 Fallen Leaf Tea, 48 Dark Green, 49 Patterned Tea, 50 Wisteria Purple, 51 Washed Vermilion, 52 Light Ochre, 53 Burnt Brown, 54 Silver Gray, 55 Shrimp Tea, 56 Ancient Verdigris, 57 Indigo Ultramarine, 58 Yellowish White, 59 Black, 60 White White Mud and soil excavated from the mountains are refined with "water" to remove impurities, and then "dried" in the form of plates.
