The very cool, brown pillar in temple.
That color is persimmon juice.

What is persimmon juice in the first place?
They are made by grinding persimmons and ferment them.

Mysterious.

Persimmon juice is a wonderful tradition in Japan.

People back then are great.
So surprise they were making material to color using natural paints also with efficacy.

We also use them in many place at uzu is usu shop.

This uzu’s gray tapestry.

Slight grayish color you can’t say about is also persimmon juice.

First, it was dark brown like this.

Well, how to make it gray.

That is the iron.

Iron??

Yes, metalic iron.

It changes to unique color of gray that can’t get with chemical paint by putting rusted nails in to mordant solution with water.

This is uzu design apron.

The yellowish part is also persimmon juice.

It’s color fixing with titanium instead of iron.
