Product information

Shirokasen — "white flower fountain," 白 (shiro, white) 華 (ka, flower) 泉 (sen, fountain) — is Kobaien's white counterpart to its Gosaiboku colour set: titanium dioxide worked together with gofun, the traditional Japanese-painting white ground from oyster, clam, and scallop shell, and bound with natural glue.

One painter, searching for a white pure and luminous enough to render the scales of a goldfish, found in it exactly that clarity — natural as white rice, its sheen adjustable with a touch of water-based fragrance oil.

Another simply called it beautiful, prized for how cleanly it sits over sumi or Kissho watercolours, or lends a hazy, veiled softness when layered beneath them.
