Japanese has more distinct names for colours than probably any other language in the world. Their names coming from traditional kimono dyes and many of them have a very particular cultural significance for Japanese people. Learn about them, the past and the present of Japanese colours, and how to create perfect (from the Japanese point of view) colour combinations in this interactive workshop.
