Return the brown color──
"Kachigaeshi" is a dyeing technique in which indigo is layered over brown.
The color name comes from an ancient dyeing technique.
During the Nara and Heian periods, it was used as a color that represented status and consciousness.
By using the "Tatezome" dyeing method, which decorates the reduction and oxidation of indigo,
A stage was created that resonated with deep, clear shadows and the changing light.
This color is close to black under strong sunlight.
In the evening and cloudy skies, the calmness of the indigo gently looks at your face
It's a color that makes emotions buried deep in your memory suddenly pop into your mind.
In modern color theory, it is close to a neutral gray, which is classified as a low-saturation blue color.
It blends easily with other colors and exudes a sense of tranquility and dignity.
🍂Quote of the Day
The indigo and brown overlap
A small, quiet connection between the past and the present.
