Abstract

Japanese traditional blue was dyeing with indigo in Edo Period and even today indigo blue is a common color in Japanese clothing. Therefore the blue nickname is ‘Japan Blue’. Blue is probably the most familiar color of all. In this study, we examine the peculiarity of blue 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 blue as follows: The color name of Japanese traditional blue 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 white, water, light, etc. in modifier representing the light color. Moreover, it represents the various divided hue, by attaching the modifier with deep, dark, true, and nezumi, etc. in modifier representing the deep shade. By doing this, it is judged that the Japanese traditional blue is made the divided color of three-phased hue, by giving variety to the brightness and chroma, rather than the change of color. When examining the HV/C colorimetric value of 57 restoration dyeing fabrics in Japanese traditional blue system, the JBCC system represents the average originating rate in order of B(49.1%) and pB(28.1%), and the tone does so in order of m(29.8%), and gy(22.8%). We can examine those 57 restoration dyeing fabrics in Japanese traditional blue are distributed at low and middle brightness. The brightness of Japanese traditional blue is 26 examples(45.7%) in low brightness, and 25 examples(43.8%) in middle brightness. Meanwhile, the chroma is 29 examples(50.8%) in middle brightness, and 26 examples(45.7%) in low brightness.
