Pigment usage varied significantly between artists active in Japan and those influenced by Russia and North Korea.
The most notable pigments included vermilion and chrome yellow for one group, while cadmium red and strontium yellow were used by another.
Non-invasive techniques like macro X-ray fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy allowed for direct examination of artworks without risk of damage.
This analysis underscores the importance of material studies in understanding the connections between culture, geography, and art.
