[Explanation of a color]

Hitoeume is a bright reddish color like a plum blossoming flower.

It is an intermediate color between “Koubai-iro” and “Usukoubai”, a color name derived from the costume of the Heian era attack. It is a color scheme that expresses the color of a single plum flower with “table · white, reverse · red” as the overlapping eyes. It was mainly worn from November to February.

Since ancient times plums are popular spring flowers alongside cherry blossoms, and as color names “Koubai-iro”, “Usukoubai” “Umegasane” “Yukisitakoubai” “Umenezu” and many others are seen.

The gentle and elegant color of “HItoeume” can be said as natural as the color of a kimono representing glamorous springs still and still popular.
