December 2nd Color Calendar

Shimobeni (Servant) – Shimobeni

"A streak of crimson in the chilly air."

"Shimobeni" is a crimson color that combines cold and warmth, like a single vestige of autumn leaves on a frosty morning.
At the beginning of winter, a hint of red suddenly catches your eye in a landscape that has lost its color.
It is the color of quiet passion that connects the end and beginning of seasons.

Shimobeni in daily life

• A single autumn leaf edged with frost • Camellia petals on a winter morning • A blush on the cold air

Frost red is a color that reflects **"the lingering traces of life in the cold"**.
It is a fleeting yet powerful color that evokes the "white space" and "beauty that lies in the unseen" that WABISUKE values.
