Lighting – Tomoshikage

"Silence nestles near the light."

"Light" is the color of the soft shadows cast by lights on the walls and shoji screens on Christmas Eve.
The light from candles and lamps gives off a hint of pale brown-white and gray-yellow in the quiet room.

This color is not a hustle and bustle of blessing, but a space for prayer.
The color of the night is a quiet reflection of the feelings of longing for someone.

Light in daily life

• The shadow of a lamp reflected on a shoji screen • Candlelight reflected on a wooden vessel • The outline of a lamp flickering on a winter night

The light reflects the color of **"quiet blessing" and "light in the heart."**
It is a poetic color of Christmas Eve that evokes the "white space" and "beautiful presence" that WABISUKE values.

Notes and etymology

• "Light" is a poetic coinage and not a traditional color.
By layering the contrasting elements of "light" and "shadow," the piece expresses the boundary between tranquility and warmth.
• Similar colors include "white-brown," "gray-yellow," and "natural color."
"Light Shadow" is a color that evokes a more spiritual tranquility and memories of light.
