Traditional Japanese Colors A lot of colors that continued being used very carefully from ancient times are in Japan. And these colors have the pretty name each. As for these names, each has a deep meaning. “Many traditional Japanese words for colors come from the world of nature. For example, some words for colors like akane iro and moegi iro come from plants. Others come from the sky or the sea. The Japanese people of old times lived in harmony with nature. Such a life made their love of nature strong and they got many words for colors from nature.” (Quoted partially English sentences from the issue of English language entrance examination of the Aichi public high school of 2008) Traditonal Japanese Colors (Four seasons) Traditonal Japanese Colors dictionary Man’yoshu (famous 8th poetry);Japan’s oldest anthology of poems In order to express the feelings of love and hope, there is an anthology which has sentences that have been qualified by the words having the name of the traditional colors of Japan.
