In Japan, various colors have long been used, which presented its culture. I am going to tell you what colors the Japanese have, how they distinguish them.
One of the most important traditional Japanese colors is red. There are more than 48 different shades of red that were invented in Japan. For example, one of the important symbols of Japan, which people use to represent death, is the lycoris, also called the spider lily.
The main colors of the Japanese flag are white and red, where white symbolizes the primordial frequency and red symbolizes the life-giving solar energy. However, there is a legend that the colors of the flag have another meaning. They say that the white background symbolizes the absolute power of the shogunate in Japan, and the red ones represent the Bloody Path that had to be taken to achieve peace.
Red and black are considered the colors of luck and happiness in Japan. It may seem that black is the color of death and misfortune, but the Japanese do not think so. Also the japanese don't really have an unlucky color. They prefer not to have a color that can bring them bad luck.
In Japan, in addition to red flowers, there are also yellow ones, for example, the color shirotsurubami - the color of white oak. Midori is listed behind the grassy green and mizuiro is responsible for the color of water. The color ayaemiro means iris and aijiro means white with indigo.
Japanese color culture is extremely interesting and can be studied forever. I am extremely interested in this, I believe that for me it is impossible to find a better color palette than in Japanese nature and culture.
