Outline of Final Research Achievements

The azurite and malachite in pigments (mineral pigments) used in a Mandala-zuestimated to be from the early Muromachi period, by a research conducted from the history of art perspective, were studied and identified under fluorescent X-ray, spectral radiance meter and optical microscope, and their granulometry was measured.
In using mineral pigments to reproduce paintings, the data obtained were used as reference for referring to the granulometry, instead of relying on visualexamination. Based on this study, the significance pigment particles hold in the artistic expression of Japanese paintings was examined, by having 11 people create test paintings, by limiting their use of mineral pigments to specified three sizes of particles. From the point of various expressive potentials, there were many artists who wanted to add a finer grain of sand, which was not in the range they were provided with.
