| Uemera's notes | There is another plant, called Hamamokukoku (濱もくこく) or Sharinbai (しゃりんばい), which is similar to Mokukoku, used in the Ryuku islands, Japan. Mokukoku is used around the Izu region in Japan. This sample was soaked into: 1) dye bath; 2) iron mordant bath; and 3) ash water bath. Mordanting with ash water would make the color more red. |
