Research Abstract	In the present age, the validity of the discoloration prevention technique of silver leaf by the application of Japanese radish juice and the white of a chicken egg was able to be accepted among the tradition Japanese painting techniques used widely no longer. The existence of the discoloration prevention effect could be simultaneously checked also about the effect of the various liquids applied for comparison, and the practicality to future work was able to be checked about the effective liquid. Moreover, in the experiment about the antiseptic action of NIKAWA-EKI by the leaf of bamboo grass, under the influence of the antiseptic used for present-day glue, by the time it confirmed preservative efficacy, it did not result. However, the possibility about the technique by another material was able to be checked with the validity in those present age by having examined such tradition techniques.
