Winter Japanese Gansai Watercolor Set

One of the possible byproducts of the situation we find ourselves in is a renewed heightened awareness of nature. The song of birds, the silence of the sky, the passing of the seasons have filled the emptiness of time with a welcome rekindling of earth's motherhood and all the meaning that entails, thanks Nature!

    Color Breakdown:

    50 - Ochiba-cha - Fallen leaves tea
    139 - Honai - True indigo
    53 - Fuji-murasaki - A deep, royal purple named after the spectacular Japanese Wisteria. 
    208 - Amairo - Flax 
    12 - Gofun - White; this refers to the traditional white pigment made from crushed shells. 66 - Paaru Midori - Pearlescent green
    44 - Gunroku - Mixed green - traditionally this pigment is made of a mixture of azurite and malachite.
    11 - Kuro - Black
    220 - Ruri-iro - Lapis lazuli blue 
    204 - Mizu-iro - Light blue; literally ‘water colour’ 
    64 - Paaru-ao - Pearlescent blue
    221 - Tokiwa-iro - Evergreen; this colour in traditional Japanese refers to the longevity and unchanging nature of evergreen leaves, seen as good luck in Edo period Japan. 
    24 - Kodai-Rokusho - Ancient verdigris - green is traditionally associated in Japan with matcha tea and the ever important tea ceremony. 
    222 - Aoi-iro - Named after the light purple mallow flower, traditionally used in Japanese medicines. 
    25 - Shinsha - Cinnabar  
    22 - Kogecha - Charred tea
    23 - Gin-nezu - Light grey; literally ‘silver mouse’
    36 - Kin-oudoiro - Golden ochre 
    2 - Oudo - Ochre; perhaps the oldest pigment, found globally in prehistoric cave paintings - synthetic alternatives to the natural pigment are more frequently used today, as in this instance. 216 - Zouge-iro - Ivory 
    60 - Gin - Silver 
    Choosing Keeping presents 4 palettes depicting each season, having picked out (in a way by no means prescriptive or exhaustive) some colours of leaves, trees, flowers, and feelings propriertary to winter, spring, summer and winter. There is no overlap in terms of colours between the 4 season sets, each set includes 20 distinct colours.  Also consider Swiss painter Johannes Itten's (1888 – 1967) seasonal colour theory - four colour palettes for four types of people each under the sun of a different season - a sort of painter's Yin and Yang if you will. 

    Included is a blank letterpress swatch card featuring each individual colour name to be painted in for colour referencing. This can come in handy as appearances can be deceiving and each colour is only revealed once wet and set to paper!
