The processed form (in which the lacquer is stirred continuously until much of the water content has evaporated) is called "guangqi" (光漆) in Chinese but comes under many different Japanese names depending on the variation, for example, "kijiro-urushi" (木地呂漆) is standard transparent lacquer sometimes used with pigments and "roiro-urushi" (黒呂色漆) is the same but pre-mixed with iron hydroxide to produce a black coloured lacquer. "Nashiji-urushi" (梨子地漆) is the transparent lacquer but mixed with gamboge to create a yellow-tinged lacquer and is especially used for the sprinkled-gold technique. These lacquers are generally used for the middle layers. Japanese lacquers of this type are generally used for the top layers and are prefixed by the word "jo-" (上) which means 'top (layer)'.
