I introduce ''紫色 ( purple )'' on this time.

I recognize purple as a noble color.
It was the color that people of high social position wore.

Purple light has an antibacterial effect.
So, I have an image of "an inaccessible color" for purple, too.

That reminds me,
Chinese great man "Confucius'' seems to have disliked purple.
Because purple is an intermediate color.
He seems to have disliked incompleteness.


I introduce ''茶色'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''橙色 ( orange )'' on this time.

We use this kanji when we express a color.

But, the use frequency is not high.
Because most Japanese know words of ''orange'', we use the words of ''オレンジ色 ( o re n ji - i ro )''
We write "orange" as "オレンジ ( o re n ji )" in katakana.

We often use a foreign language and the native language together.
This will be one of the Japanese flexibility, too.
It is very splendid talent.

However,

it is necessary to know that there are words forgotten in the back.
Because the words have the long history.
I think that it is very splendid to respect the history.


I introduce ''紫色'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.

I introduce ''灰色 ( gray )'' on this time.

Gray is a color of the ashes.

It is the remainder which has burnt out.

But,
I do not dislike gray.
Because,
something which is new may be born from ashes.

Like phoenix...
