Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai

Red lead 丹(tan): The common name for a heavy, opaque, orange-red pigment composed of Lead tetroxide. Although chemically equivalent to the mineral minium, red lead has been synthetically prepared by roasting lead white (480 C) since before the 5th century BCE.

Yellow ochre has been found.... (write something)
