The traditional colors of Japan

The various colors that color literature have never been able to actually see their correct colors, but only to explore and deduce them from literature.
 
In this book, the author, who is an authority on color science, has collected for many years old documents, old textiles, dye sample books, and other authoritative sources to verify the colors, and has also test-dyed them to confirm the color tones.

For each of the 225 colors, the author has included information on dyestuffs*old dyeing methods*color tones and history of color trends, as well as a bibliography with chronological tables*contrasting tables of Japanese and Western color names*references*and English names.
