上羽絵惣
Ueba Esou began in 1751, when the first Sohei opened in Toromachi, Shimogyo, as a shop for Japanese painting pigments. It carries around 1,200 Japanese colours and more than 700 products; the colour stock built up since 1751 is the foundation of its gofun cosmetics. Gofun nail polish, developed in 2010, turns gofun — the white pigment of Japanese painting — into a water-soluble polish, and its colour names are traditional Japanese colours, at ¥1,452 a bottle. Kan-hizakura and other shades cost the same.
