Now, imagine spring. Flowers blooming, the small, light green leaves of the blossoming cherry and plum trees filling in the gaps between the beautiful white, pink, and purple flower petals. Marigolds and willows popping up in between balance out this Japanese spring palette. Most names of colors originate from the names of plants, flowers, and animals that bore or resembled them. Certain colors and dyeing techniques have been used since the Asuka period, while others had been developed as late as the Meiji period when synthetic dyes became common. Due to the long history of use of this color system, some variations in color and names exist. The cultural significance of colors in Japan is complex and multifaceted. Colors can be used to convey a wide range of emotions and meanings, depending on the context. For example, the color red can be used to express love, happiness, or anger, depending on the situation. By understanding the cultural significance of colors in Japan, visitors can avoid making any faux pas and can show their respect for Japanese culture. How to Say Other Colors In Japanese

Yumioka, Katsumi (2006). 着と日本の色・夏篇・夏着物で綴る日本の文様と伝統色[ Summer Kimonos and the Colors of Japan・Kimono Collection of Katsumi Yumioka] (in Japanese and English). Tokyo: PIE Books. ISBN 978-4894445314. Collaborating with Turner Colour Works, this set has been specifically chosen by the artist as it features colours which he loves and works with in the majority of his paintings. Formulated with fine powders, Japanesque Colours have a unique texture. They can be used as a dye, blended, scratched into and painted over while remaining opaque. The Japanesque colours offer a traditional Japanese Colour Palette and give an incredible intensity and surface quality of a gouache with the drying properties of an acrylic (i.e. not being rewettable) We’re not trying to make things complicated, but if you dig deeper into the Japanese language, you’ll find that colors in Japanese aren’t as “innocent” as they seem. Take a look at some of the few language conundrums. “黄色い” and “茶色い”

Autumn is often considered the most beautiful season in Japan. Reds of all shades cover the hills and valleys throughout the country. What’s more, the country’s rice is harvested, filling the bowls of citizens (and the wallets of farmers). Harvest season brings with it certain religious celebrations, as well as the traditional browns and reds that result from the end of Japan’s blazing hot summers. You won’t want to miss the momiji red leaves (like miniature maple leaves) that have made cities like Kyoto and Hiroshima hugely popular tourist attractions during the autumn months.

And the most interesting of them all and I love it- Yupo! I feel this is what they look best on. This paper, it’s an adventure for sure, kind of just have to let it do what it wants to do. Guest Doodlewasher, Michele May described it as a balance between control and chaos, which is an apt description of using Yupo. Another example is the color orange. Even Japanese people will often opt for the loanword, オレンジ, instead of using the traditional Japanese word: 橙色 (daidaiiro). In today’s post I’m going to give a rundown of Japan’s favourite and most historically popular colours, investigating their meaning while showing some examples of how their usage has changed over time. By taking this crash-course of Japanese colour, you will be able to impress your friends with thoughtful insights into the history and meaning of each colour, enriching your travels and giving you an edge when searching for that perfect ‘Made in Japan’ gift or memento. So, now that we know about the historical roots of the basic colours used in Japanese art and traditions, we can begin to make sense of that gift your cousin gave you after his trip to Tokyo! But seriously, you should consider the artist’s choice here – without a doubt they were inspired by each of the themes covered today. Moreover, with a growing literature of colour guides and dictionaries being translated into english, we are able to do our own research into the historic meaning of that blueish-purpley shade you found along the edge of your grandmother’s kimono. With historic meaning engrained in every aspect of traditional Japanese art, the opportunities are endless. Happy hunting! The natural environment of Japan also defined which colours could be made and recreated – through dyes – by the people of Japan. Thus, the oldest aspects of the Japanese colour palette are directly connected with both rank and hierarchy, as well as the materials at hand in the cities and villages of ancient Japan.

Marra, Michael (October 15, 2010). Essays on Japan: Between Aesthetics and Literature. BRILL. ISBN 978-90-04-19594-3. White:White is the color of purity and is often associated with death and mourning. It is also the color of weddings and is worn by brides on their wedding day. Turner Japanesque colours are an extension to the Turner Acryl Gouache range, inspired by Japanese traditional paintings, or 'Nihonga', which are typically executed on Japanese paper or silk. Colors have a rich cultural significance in Japan, and their meaning and symbolism can vary depending on the context. Here are some examples: Clean your brush and pallet before the paint dries. If it dries up, dip the brush and pallet in water for hours or in AG Cleaner and clean them with soapy water after the paint softens.

The Japanese language only got its unique word for green,みどり (緑)during the Heian period, which was between 794 and 1185. However, the term was not widely adopted until after World War II, and its late adoption was partly why we still seeあおい used to describe things that are green. They are smooth like butta’. One touch of the brush and serious pigment is loaded. Very rich, and very moody. They blend nicely and lift easily. A mixing area is definitely required. They seem similar in consistency of the popular Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints, but do not leave the same sheen once dry. They dry matte. There might be larger sets out there that also include these colors. The artwork which is featured on the front of the set is titled ‘Baku’ and after reading about the origins of the title of the name, it would appear that Baku is otherwise known as the ‘dream eater’ and is a mythological being or spirit in Chinese and Japanese folklore which is said to devour nightmares. The baku cannot be summoned without caution, however, as ancient legends say that if the baku is not satisfied after consuming the nightmare, he may also devour one’s hopes and dreams. Blue dye, made from the indigo plant, was the most accessible (and affordable) color Japanese people could use to make clothing and textiles. As such, blue ( 青い)is the color of common people, worn on kimonos, formal attire and common wear. Summary of Colors in Japanese Culture Since magenta, an imported artificial color, also resembled Kara-kurenai (here also Kara means Korea; kurenai means red), people started to call the deep red formerly known as kara-ai by the new designation Kara-kurenai (here, however, "Kara" means China)." [1] :37Sample paintings below on several different types of paper. I don’t think I’ve shared this many examples of one product, so you’ll certainly get a good idea of what they look like. As they say- it takes all kinds, variety is the spice of life, explore, be flexible, go with the flow. These days I’m more about painting in little journals over making larger paintings- too many books that need reading. I used both the blue and purple in the first two sketches with mountains, but I can’t really tell a distinction between the two colors- disappointing. Symbolism in Japanese colors is heavily rooted in China and its traditional philosophies, which include Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. In the past, these philosophies affected the association of color with each social class of Japanese society.
