Shikkui Plaster (城かべ) is a
traditional and innovative Japanese lime plaster made of
slaked lime of high calcium purity, seaweed extracts, natural plant fiber and other natural aggregates. It has been widely used throughout Japan for both internal and external walls of houses, temples and castles, as well as for ceilings and decorative purposes for over one thousand years.
