Picture description

"Shinku" 深紅 is traditional Japanese color. It is an intense and bright red color. In ancient times, it was also known as "Fukakurenai", "Kokikurenai" and "Kokibeni", and is also written separately as "Shinku". Today, it is also used to describe the color "crimson", as "crimson petals".

This shade of red has been a color that has fascinated many people since ancient times, but because safflower was so expensive, deep reds like crimson were considered "forbidden colors." The name crimson emphasizes that this is an authentic safflower dyed color, with no additives. In this case, due to the sweetness and delicacy of the central figure, the tone has been adapted to express a sweeter idea.
