Details:
Like the Japanese court nobles, think about using colour in your writing as a way to express your feelings, to add a layer of meaning to your correspondence...
History:
We have adapted the impossible names given by the manufacturer to some more usable alternatives - but these colours have been chosen for their historical provenance, dating back to the middle ages. This period, known as Heian, is notable for the refinement of its court nobles, whose main life's purpose was the obtainment of beauty, taste, and sophistication. Aesthetic refinement extended to the field of colour, each symbolising a particular emotion, denoting a particular sense of place or person most notably found in classic literature such as The Tale of Genji and poetry.
