Gofun powder / 1pc

Gofun is a white pigment, used in Japan from the Muromachi period to the present day. Gofun was made of calcium carbonate powder obtained by heating and pulverizing the shells of oysters and clams, collected around the Inland Sea coast. It was used alone, or mixed with other pigments (guiri) to lighten the colour tone. An example is cinnabar mixed with gofun, called shu-no-gu (cinnabar-shell). In woodblock prints (ukiyo-e), gofun was sometimes rubbed directly on the picture surface, or sprinkled to give the effect of falling snow. Mixed with animal glue (nikawa), it was used as a coating on paper gubiki, an adhesive for sprinkled gold dust (fundami), and a priming (doroji), on statues and masks after the Kamakura period.
