Transparent lacquer - transluzent lacquer - (Syuai urushi / Hakushita urushi)
In the Japanese lacquer technique, the transluzent lacquer is added to the colored urushi red, blue, yellow and green, since they have a larger proportion of solid (pigment).
Transluzent paint also serves as a surface and polish varnish.
It should be noted that this lacquer, depending on the thickness of the application, is more or less translucent - translucent - and always relatively dark. Thin jobs are done with silk fabric, thicker jobs with a brush. This lacquer should not be confused with western clear lacquer.

Ki-urushi / seshime-urushi (raw varnish / branch varnish), syuai urushi / hakushita urushi (transparent varnish or translucent varnish) and roiro-urushi (black varnish) can be used normally for approx. 6 months after opening the tubes. After that, there may be a change in the properties under certain circumstances. It is therefore recommended to mix the "old paint" 1: 1 with fresh paint.
All colored lacquers are always mixed with fresh syuai-urushi / hakushita-urushi (transparent lacquer or translucent lacquer) and can therefore be used for longer.
