19th Century
gouache (water-base paint) - Opaque water-based paint, usually composed of pigment in gum arabic plus a white material that increases opacity. It may be used for heightening works in aquarelle or for whole paintings. The term originally probably had a different meaning, referring to oil applied on top of tempera painting.
gouaches (paintings) - Watercolors, which are considered either drawings or paintings, using gouache, which is opaque color that is ground in water and mixed with gum and honey.
Japanese
paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
