Kamakura Village by Katsushika Hokusai

Orpiment 石黄(sekio): An inorganic colorant ground from a soft, yellow mineral composed of Arsenic trisulfide. It produces a bright yellow color.

Orpiment and turmeric have been the most commonly detected yellows as a single colorant as well as a mixture of the two. Orpiment may have been added to turmeric to add tinting strength? or to increase opaqueness. Also, the most commonly detected mixture to produce green has been orpiment and indigo. Greens are made either by mixing or overprinting the two colorants.
