February 8th Color Calendar

"Afterglow" is the light of time that has passed.
A pale grayish-peach color that seems to linger quietly in a corner of space.
It's not a sunset or a sunrise,
It is a color that reflects the moment when the "light of memory" quietly drifts.

The light that shines in at the end of winter
Somewhere nostalgic, somewhere far away,
But it's certainly here now.

The outline of the light reflected on the shoji screen appears slightly blurred.
Perhaps it's because air particles carry memories.
The light gently envelops past emotions,
It quietly seeps into the present space.

This color is
"Lingering memories" and "afterglow of emotions."
When the end and beginning of the season overlap,
Light reflects the shape of time.

Afterglow in daily life

• The morning light that shines through the shoji screens, like an evening. • The lingering scent of fragrance and the reflection of light on the white porcelain vessel. • The moment when memories of the past blend gently into the colors of the space.

WABISUKE values ​​afterglow
A color that resonates with the "memory of the material" and the "emotions of the space."
Something invisible remains quietly.
A gentle seasonal poem.
