Fujikage – Fujikage

"Memories of spring flicker beneath the light."

"Fujikage" is a pale purple color like wisteria flowers that sways as shadows.
.

This color is somewhere between memory and premonition.
Even though it's still cold now, a soft color of hope lights up deep in my heart.


Fuji shadows in daily life

• A mauve stole that shines through the cloudy sky
• Shadows on frosted glass illuminated by winter light
• Pale purple clouds in the evening sky


The wisteria shadow is a color that reflects what is not there today.
This is a purple poem for the winter solstice that is close to the "white space" and "layers of memory" that WABISUKE values.


Notes and etymology

• “Fujikage” is not a traditional color, but a poetic coinage.
By focusing on the "shadow" of the wisteria flowers rather than their "color," a quieter, more intimate purple is expressed.
• Similar colors include "wisteria," "light purple," and "bellflower insect."
"Fujikage" is a color that places more emphasis on the relationship between light and shadow.
