There you have it! You’re well on your way to adding a little more color to your Japanese writing and speaking. But why stop here? Summer in Japan is usually clear and hot – the rain seasons are over and the sun has come out. Green upon green as bamboo groves mix with the evergreens and deciduous trees now clean of flowers and covered in leaves. Add to this a wild spread of shrubbery and you’ve got the Japanese summer landscape. Amongst all these plants hide the millions of cicada humming away, creating the perfect Japanese summer scene. In Japan, yellow is associated with nature and sunshine! It’s not a color with a lot of significance, like white or red, but it’s certainly a sunny, cheerful shade. That said, for hundreds of years, a golden chrysanthemum was symbolic of the Japanese empire, and it’s said that in the 1300s, warriors wore a yellow chrysanthemum as a symbol of their courage. But that’s more history than modern use. Just a fun little tidbit for you! Green in Japanese ( Midori)

Most colors are pretty bright and don’t shift, if ever. There aren’t very many single pigment colors, but they tend to mix pretty well. Pigments rarely separate while sitting in your pallet for long periods of time. 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. As mentioned earlier, acryl gouache dries to a matte finish. And a good acrylic gouache will level out and have a smooth surface. This means little to no streaking or brushstrokes. These characteristics make Turner Acryl Gouache great for reproduction, just like gouache paint. The other use for the term is to talk about the oldest four colors in Japanese, which have existed in the language since the earliest written history of Japan.

Mizu (水, みず) in Japanese means water – so mizuiro is literally ‘water-color.’ While more recent as an advent in Japanese culture, they’re joined a group of languages that has a distinct color family for light blue with its own name (while in English we just add “light” to “blue”). On the other hand, there’s no word for “teal” in Japanese.
