January 9th Color Calendar: Clear skies

January 9th Color Calendar

Tanbare – Clear skies

"The soft color of a clear, quiet sky."

"Tansei" is the soft, sunny color that spreads on winter mornings.
The sky is neither blue nor white, but a pale, translucent blue-gray.
It's not a bright sunny day, but rather a calm and sunny day.

This color represents "quiet hope" and "clarity of the air."
The cloudy sky suddenly clears up.
At that moment, the air becomes clear and your heart feels lighter.

A calm and peaceful life

• A pale, clear sky seen through a shoji screen in the morning • Winter laundry swaying in the sunlight • The reflection of the sky's color on a white vessel

Pale blue is a color that reflects **"clearness in tranquility" and "transparency of emotions."**
This is a poem about clear winter days that evokes the "clarity of materials" and "emptiness of air" that WABISUKE values.

Notes and etymology

• "Tansei" is a poetic neologism and not a traditional color.
The overlapping of "pale" and "clear" expresses the intersection of tranquility and hope.
• Similar colors include "white gray," "gray blue," and "sky gray."
"Tansei" is a color that focuses on a more spiritual sense of clarity and clarity in the air.
