In Japanese paintings, not only pigments such as rock paint, but also plant -dyed dyes are used as coloring materials.
This Fujio is one of the dyes.
Fuji Huang is a resin of Takagi, which is the genus Fukugi.When dissolved in water, it creates a transparent yellow color.
It is called Gamboge, which can be taken in India, Myanmar, Thailand, etc., and is made by coaginating the yellow rubber -shaped resin that can be removed from it.
It has a long history, and in Japan, Fujito is used in the Lacquer Gold Picture Best (incense seal) produced in the 19800s in Shosoin. Others were also used under the foil of Japanese art works.
In Europe, it was used as a coloring material in the 1600s, and was widely used, including transparent watercolors, fine paintings, gold burning, and even coloring of liqueurs.
Compared to other yellow pigments handled by this lab, Fuji Huang is a little reddish, and the brightness is slightly darker.
This coloring material may be confused with a mineral pigment that also contains yellow arsenic, a female yellow. For example, in the "Selected version of the Japanese Language Dictionary", the Chinese name of "Fujio" is "female yellow".
A female yellow is an English name and is a mineral yellow color material called "Open", and it is said that female yellow is now replaced by Fujito due to its toxicity.
Fujito, a dye with water -soluble properties, and female yellow of the pigment that does not have the property of dissolving in water.
When you actually look and touch it, you can see the difference well, but it is confused because both are the same yellow coloring material, and due to the danger, it may be substituted to Fuji Huang today. It may have been done.
By the way, in this book called "Honesoku Map" published in the Taisho era, the fruit is said to have a sour taste and subtle sweetness.
As of 2022, searching engines with "Gamboge Fruit" will hit the actual eating, so you can see that it is still distributed as a small amount.
I want to eat a little bit of what tastes.
Let's actually use it. It is very easy to use.
By stroking the gamboji body with water on the finger in this way, the color gradually bleeds.
You can soak this into the brush and color it in the support.
In addition, by mixing it with the glue -kneaded bowls, it can be used as a pigment and used as a utility paint.
This lab also sells tubes with tubes and snow in the city. If you use it, you can easily make a pigmented gamboji.

If you want a gamboji that is already in the paint, this pancake is also recommended released by ZECCHI.
