With a temporary frame (simple frame). Made of Japanese paper, sumi ink, and gofun (gofun). I have painted many kinds of dragons, but Kano Yamasetsu's dragons are among my favorites. I used sumi ink and gofun to express a white dragon in this work. I made a temporary border in silver color. Don't you think the expression of the dragon's "more eyes" is cute? Temporary border size: 26 cm (width), 33.5 cm (height), 3 cm (thickness). Japanese painting is based on a style of painting that has continued for more than 1,000 years, and uses traditional materials that have been cultivated over long periods of history. It is a technique of painting on Japanese paper, silk, wood, etc., using natural paints such as sumi ink, iwa-enogu, gofun, etc., and glue as an adhesive. Gold and other metal materials (gold leaf, etc.) are also used. Iwa-enogu, made from ores, is a beautiful, sand-like powder. Mizuhigure, made from clay, is a fine, stretchy paint with fine particles. Artificial versions of iwa-enogu and mizuhoshi egur are also made, and are available in a wide variety of colors. Goko, made from shells, is a white pigment with fine particles.
