Hi Noel!

    I think my all-time favorite source for Japanese patinas is Chapt.
    XLV of Henry Wilson's Silverwork and Jewellery (1902), reprinted by
    Pitman. The chapter is based on Wilson's personal contact with Prof.
    Unno Bisei of the Tokyo Fine Art College, from whom he learned
    Japanese inlay, damascene work, and patinas. Also Prof. Kobayashi of
    Tokyo " for the demonstration and recipes of Japanese methods of
    metal colouring at my request before the students of the Royal
    College of Art". The workshops I give in Japanese Coloring Methods
    began here...:-)..... 

    Chapter summary: 

    Japanese Patinas and Metal Colouring--Patina--Bronzing by the
    Boiling Process--The Smoking Process--The Painting Process--The
    Heating Process--Other Recipes and Coloring Methods for Bronze Work.
