I introduce ''水色 ( light blue )'' on this time.

The Japanese expresses "light blue" with "色 ( a color ) of 水 ( the water )".

The water is colorless transparence.
However, the water creates various colors by a reflection of the light.

When ancient people hit on the name of this color, what would the people look at?

I introduce ''茶色 ( brown )'' on this time.

''Tee'' is Japanese green tea for Japanese.
I have had doubt toward brown in childhood.
Because, brown was different from the color of the Japanese green tea which I always drank.

I understand it now.
In late years,
because we drink tea or Chinese tea, too.


I introduce ''桃色'' on the next time.

See you next time.
