February 7th Color Calendar: Swaying Light

Swaying light – Yōkō

"When the light flickers, the seasons pass silently."

February 7th Color Calendar

"Swaying Light" is a song that plays on a windless, soundless morning.
The color reflects the moment when the light flickers slightly through the shoji screen.
It is the invisible change of seasons,
A pale off-white light that seems to gently touch the particles of space.

A slight hint of spring mixes in with the stillness of winter.
But it's not the scent or the temperature,
It appears as a "fluctuation."

This morning, I noticed that the plum buds were slightly swollen compared to yesterday.
The change was silent, silent,
Only the angle of the light will tell.

This color is
"Fluctuating presence" and "movement in silence."
As the seasons progress,
It always makes no noise.

Wavering in daily life

• In the morning, the light filtering through the shoji screen appears to sway even though there is no wind. • In the afternoon, the light reflected on the white porcelain vessel changes shape over time. • The flowers before they bloom seem to start to move gently inside.

WABISUKE values ​​the swaying light
A color that resonates with the "feel of the material" and "white space."
Something invisible is moving silently.
A gentle seasonal poem.
