• 165 examples of color combinations from fashion, interior design, and graphic design from the early Shōwa period, ideal for understanding the atmosphere of the era and especially valuable for illustration and historical documentation.
• Traditional Japanese color names such as chōshun-iro, hana-asagi, or ume-nezu, accompanied by their English translations, offering inspiration through language as well.
