Talking about colors, color names

2024.09.05

 

The names of the colors, one by one, are accompanied by elegant Japanese words that represent phenomena (celestial events) seen in the sun, moon, and stars.

In general, colors are often named, but depending on the viewer, what the color looks like, and how the person who wears the color feels when wearing it. The impression a person has of a person changes greatly depending on how they perceive the beauty of those around them.


The name is derived from the ancient Japanese word for celestial phenomena, ``magago,'' because celestial phenomena are exactly the same, and the beauty of the same sky is different for each person who sees it.The beauty of the details is perceived differently by each person's sensibilities.
For example, B8's Saiun is a phenomenon in which the sun's rays reflect off clouds, creating beautiful colors.It means a precious moment in which the sky is colored with bright colors, capturing a fleeting moment of beauty. I believe that this precious moment has various kinds of beauty depending on the person who sees it. The Goddess will make the intention of ``I want to wear this kind of impression'' as the most suitable celestial image for that person. The name of the color reflects this idea.
