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 Gofun, 5 Bright Yellow, 9 Yellow Ochre, 8 Vermilion, 30 Crimson, 34 Young Leaf, 7 Verdigris, 43 Ultramarine, 46 Beautiful Blue, 26 Purple, 44 Dai Ochre, 59 Black, 2 Swallowtail, 14 Red Plum, 4 Japanese Bright Yellow, 56 Ancient Verdigris, 21 Bronze, 13 Floral White-Green, 24 Light Blue, 35 White Ultramarine, 53 Burnt Brown, 47 Fallen Leaf Tea, 15 Chestnut Skin Tea, 54 Silver Gray
