1. Usu-iro (Delicate Pale Purple) While "Usu-iro" literally translates to "pale color " in the world of Japanese tradition and classical literature it specifically refers to a pale shade of purple. Derived from the Gromwell root (Murasaki)—the same precious material used for the noble "Kodai-murasaki"—this color is created by dyeing the fabric lightly and delicately. It captures the elegance of wisteria flowers swaying in the wind or the faint haze of early spring. Usu-iro embodies a refined modest beauty that has been cherished by the Japanese aesthetic for over a thousand years. Show more
