It is formed when wind carries and deposits dust from arid regions containing quartz, feldspar, mica, and other minerals. The ochre used as a pigment or paint is made by mixing clay with iron oxide obtained by refining red earth. “It nourishes Heaven and Earth.” (「天地を養」) In other words, the //I Ching// states that Heaven is black and Earth is yellow. Before the ground throughout Japan became covered with concrete, children would use up their ochre-colored paint or crayon much faster than any other color. | |
