Iron oxide red 弁柄(bengara): A colorant derived from hematite, a metallic black-gray or dark red mineral primarily composed of iron oxide.
Iron oxide red has been the most commonly found brown whether used alone or in mixtures. When printed, it appears dense and opaque. Iron oxide red has been found on early hand-colored to fully color printed images throughout the Edo period (1603–1868). The color can range from a bright light red to a deep almost maroon brown.

Examples of Iron oxide red in Ukiyo-e Prints
Analysis
X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is used to detect iron (Fe). When it is found in a red/brown area, it is an indication for the presence of iron oxide red (Fe2O3).
