February 13th Color Calendar

"Kaikou" is a sign of spring,
The pale red color of plum blossoms gently touches memories of the past.
It is a color that reflects the moment when the changing of the seasons brings about a sense of nostalgia.

When the morning light falls through the shoji screen,
Its softness suddenly reminds me of springtime in the past.
The scent of plum blossoms evokes a scene deep in my memory.
It is the moment when the spring here and now overlaps with the past.

As the incense in the vessel dissolves into the space,
The scent is somehow nostalgic and somehow new.
The seasons don't just move on,
Touching the depths of memory, it unravels the heart.

This color is
"Red of memory" and "A hint of nostalgia."
Spring gently connects the past and the present,
It seeps in quietly and deeply.

Red in everyday life

• The light filtering through the shoji screens reminds me of spring mornings long ago. • The scent lingers in the white porcelain vessels, touching the depths of my memory. • The blossoming plum blossoms fill the space with a sense of nostalgia.

WABISUKE treasures the Kaikou
A color that resonates with the "memory of the material" and the "emotion of the space."
Something invisible touches the depths of your heart.
A gentle seasonal poem.
