Mud and soil extracted from the mountains are purified with water, impurities are removed, and then the material is dried into sheets.
In the past, they were called mud pigments (earth pigments) and were made from mud and earth mined from the mountains. Suihin pigments are so named because they are refined with water, impurities are removed, and then the pigments are dried into sheets. As colors have become more diverse, artificial pigments have been added, making it possible to create a wide range of colors. Kissho's Suihin pigments have incorporated new manufacturing methods and boast a high-quality, wide color lineup, but the basic manufacturing method is said to have remained unchanged since ancient times. ●Set of 24 colors in approximately 20cc stick bottles●60 White Powder, 5 Bright Yellow, 9 Yellow Ochre, 8 Vermilion, 30 Crimson, 34 Young Leaf, 7 Verdigris, 43 Ultramarine, 46 Beautiful Blue, 26 Purple, 44 Daisho, 59 Black, 2 Swallowtail, 14 Red Plum, 4 Yellow Yamabuki, 56 Ancient Verdigris, 21 Bronze, 13 Floral White-Green, 24 Light Blue, 35 White Grouper, 53 Burnt Brown, 47 Fallen Leaf Tea, 15 Chestnut Brown, 54 Silver Gray
