Bengara Black Pigment for Urushi

Black Bengara Pigment for Urushi and Kintsugi

Black Bengara pigment is used to colour Urushi lacquer and create deeper, richer black tones. Mixed with Ki Urushi or other Urushi lacquers, it produces a denser, more uniform and opaque black finish.

Traditionally used in Japanese lacquerwork and kintsugi, this pigment intensifies the depth of the black while preserving the natural properties of the Urushi lacquer.

Features:

  • Colours Ki Urushi and other Urushi lacquers to create a deeper black
  • Enhances the intensity and depth of the colour
  • Improves opacity and coverage
  • Suitable for traditional Japanese lacquerwork, restoration and kintsugi

How to use:
Add a small amount of pigment to the Urushi lacquer and mix thoroughly until a smooth, uniform colour is achieved. Gradually adjust the amount of pigment according to the desired intensity.
