Introducing of Red Lead "鉛丹en-tan".

"According to the literatures of the Meiji era, en-tan had been  made by mixing of lead and alum or saltpeter , and heating .Probably the manufacturing method of the Edo period is also that method.

This paint has the property of turning black over time, so its use  on a print often be visible to the naked eye. (You can see an example in the picture below.)

It is said that bengala(red iron oxide), vermillion, and Lead Tan were often mixed with safflower red in the edo period.I would like to investigate the regularity and rules of those red  colors mixing in the future."

Note: Red lead(en-tan) is an oxide of lead made from the Greek and Roman times.

Red Lead  / Chemical Formula Pb3O4

According to the literature of the first half of the 18th century, the production areas are Senshu Sakai and other Osaka, and the literature of the beginning of the 20th century also states that "it's exclusively manufactured in Sakai City  ".

So it can be seen that it had been carried out  around Sakai in Japan from ancient times.

The purpose of adding saltpeter and alum is to accelerate oxidation, but it seems that there were cases where it was not added depending on the manufacturing method.
