Product Information

The natural environment of Japan also defined which colours could be made and recreated – through dyes – by the people of Japan. Thus, the oldest aspects of the Japanese colour palette are directly connected with both rank and hierarchy, as well as the materials at hand in the cities and villages of ancient Japan.

Today, however, they are distinct color categories in modern Japanese usage – with a few fun exceptions. For example, Japanese people still say aoshingou (青信号, あおしんごう), meaning “blue traffic light”, to talk about a green light. In Japanese culture, white is a sacred color. It can be associated with priests and brides, especially in the Shinto tradition where it’s associated with physical and spiritual purity. However, because of Buddhism’s influence in Japan, it was also a traditional color of mourning associated with death, and was the color samurais wore to perform seppuku – a ritual suicide. More recently, Western culture has influenced a shift, but for a long time it was rare to see Japanese people wearing white because of the solemn connotations. But if you’re willing to embrace this medium, you can achieve some unique results in your work. You’ll also get to work with a paint that has substantial covering power, colors that don’t shift, and a matte surface that’s easy to digitize. If you’re mistake-prone, boo-boos are easy to cover up due to acryl gouache’s pigment load.Turner Acryl Gouache is available in a range of sets which contain 12, 18, 24 or 36 colours. The range is complemented by a series of 69 Japanesque colours, which have a slightly coarse texture. This texture is designed to mimic that of traditional Japanese paints, which are made from crushed mineral pigments, shells, corals and even semi-precious stones (like malachite, azurite and cinnabar) suspended in a hide glue binder.

Linguists believe that the meanings of these words have shifted over time from describing general visual experiences to specific colors. Nonetheless, these are the four first colors of Japan and have likely shaped the Japanese approach to art and the color spectrum. Name Mizu (水, みず) in Japanese means water – so mizuiro is literally ‘water-color.’ While more recent as an advent in Japanese culture, they’re joined a group of languages that has a distinct color family for light blue with its own name (while in English we just add “light” to “blue”). On the other hand, there’s no word for “teal” in Japanese.

To create the effect on the compacts, raw gel beads are heated together and merge (much like wax beads would) – at the end of the production line, gel pigment is dripped in creating the swirl effects above, and also creating a different pattern on each item. Japonesque Colour Eye Make Up Now, imagine spring. Flowers blooming, the small, light green leaves of the blossoming cherry and plum trees filling in the gaps between the beautiful white, pink, and purple flower petals. Marigolds and willows popping up in between balance out this Japanese spring palette. As mentioned earlier, acryl gouache dries to a matte finish. And a good acrylic gouache will level out and have a smooth surface. This means little to no streaking or brushstrokes. These characteristics make Turner Acryl Gouache great for reproduction, just like gouache paint. If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon. Pink is another color whose most commonly used name in modern Japan might feel pretty familiar to English speakers – pinku, written in katakana to denote a loanword.
