Long ago, a paint made from natural rocks called "iwaenogu" was used by artists in Japan. Today, most colours are made from artificial materials. These colours are now used on "washi" ( Japanese natural paper) which is mounted on wooden panels. Nihonga or "Japanese Paining" has many different styles. However, this art is clearly different from Western style art du to the unique original and delicate iwaenogu colours.
