[Explanation of a color]

The Kurumizome, is a yellow-brown tinged with ash. I dyed with lye and decoction of bark and pericarp of walnut native to fields and mountains. Is used for dyeing paper Sutras for the Nara period, and there is “the paper of walnut color of Korea,” “Genji Monogatari” to “Akashi”, the name is also found in Shosoin document. I’ve been dyed using a bark demon walnut, such as princess walnut walnut color, but dyed using the pericarp of green or green leaf now.
