Shokkō (redness of the touch)

"When the signs of spring touch your heart, warmth becomes color."

February 14th Color Calendar

"Touch Red" is a sign of spring,
A pale red and white color that gently touches the heart rather than the skin.
It is the warmth of the season,
It is a color that reflects a moment that quietly reaches deep into the emotions.

When the morning light spreads through the shoji screen,
Its softness will instantly relax your mind.
When the scent of plum blossoms fills the air,
It feels not like a memory, but like the warmth of the here and now.

The time it takes for the incense in the vessel to dissolve into the air.
The scent is like someone's presence,
It gently and quietly touches the heart.

This color is
"Warmth of emotions" and "a feeling that touches the heart."
Spring is not just warm,
It reaches the depths of your heart as color.

Redness in everyday life

• The soft red and white light that spreads through the shoji screen. • The moment when the fragrance lingers in the white porcelain vessel touches your heart. • The hint of the blooming plum blossoms filling the space with warmth.

Touch red is something that WABISUKE treasures.
A color that resonates with the "warmth of the material" and the "emotions of the space."
What cannot be seen touches the heart,
A gentle seasonal poem.
