THE Bengara pigment is an authentic Japanese pigment traditionally used in the art of urushi lacquer and kintsugi for centuries. It is composed of natural iron oxide extracted from the soil and minerals , which gives it excellent stability , great depth of color , and perfect compatibility with natural urushi .


 Thanks to its intense warm red hues , Bengara allows for an authentic red urushi , ideal for enhancing the gold powder used in kintsugi and highlighting repair lines with elegance and contrast.


 This pigment is perfectly suited for kintsugi repair , traditional Japanese lacquer , object restoration , as well as professional craft and artistic work .
