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

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 ''Nature'' from the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
