Abstract

Yellow gives off a bright and warm light. Yellow is a friendly color can be seen in the natural world of plants and flowers. In Edo period as the custom of tea drinking became popular among the common people, the definition ‘the color of tea’ became popular as well. In this study, we examine the peculiarity of yellow in Japanese Edo period, by advanced research, literature review and colorimetric survey of restoration dyeing fabrics. As a result, it is extracted the traditional peculiarity of color name and hue of Japan and arranged the uniqueness of Japanese traditional yellow as follows: The color name of Japanese traditional yellow system is composed of combination with basic name of color and it, combination with modifier and basic name of color, etc. In particular, it attached the ‘sira-’ and ‘usu-’, in modifier representing the light color. Moreover, it represents the various divided hue, by attaching the modifier with ‘koi-’, ‘-cha’ and ‘-nezumi’, in modifier representing the deep shade. By doing this, it is judged that the Japanese traditional yellow is made the divided color of phased hue, by giving variety to the brightness and chroma, rather than the change of color. When examining the HV/C colorimetric value of 92 restoration dyeing fabrics in Japanese traditional yellow system, the JBCC system represents the average originating rate in order of BR(47.8%), OY(18.5%), OLBR(12%), and the tone does so in order of m(26.1%), l(25%) and gy(19.6%). We can examine those 92 restoration dyeing fabrics in Japanese traditional yellow are distributed at low and middle brightness. The brightness of Japanese traditional yellow is 12% in low brightness and 81.5% in middle brightness and 6.5% in high brightness. Meanwhile, the chroma is 54.3% in low brightness, and 37% in middle brightness, and 8.7% in high brightness.
