| Research Abstract |
In ancient Japan, from the Jomon to Kofun periods, red pigments are generally thought to refer to mercury cinnabar and red oxide of iron ( "bengara " ).
These red pigments are painted onto earthenware, wooden objects, and others. Bengara carefully stored in vessels are sometimes found in excavation surveys.
Now, I have found pipe-shaped particles in bengara pigments. These particles are bengara itself. Pipe-shaped bengara are very typical substances, therefore we can try to get a lot of valuable information, such as wide regional interchange, from red pigments "Bengara".
I am certain that pipe-shaped bengara had been moved around the Japanese Islands from the Jomon to Kofun periods.
Producing districts of pipe-shaped bengara have not been found, I am going to try to search where that obtain.
