COLOR OF LAYERED COSTUME STYLE
The delicate changes in nature during the
four seasons endowed the Japanese with a
fine and sensitive mind.It can be seen clearly
in the Japanese costumes from ancient times,in
which the beautiful tones of the seasons
are reflected in the color scheme of costumes.
In the 10th century (the midlle of the
HEIAN ERA of Japan),the costumes of the court
nobles became free and loose-bodied in the
transition from a Chinese style to a Japanese
one.And with a style of building made suitable
for summer,a layered style was developed
for purposes of adjusting the layers of robes
in accordance with temperature of the season,or
expressing the charm of elegant composition.First
of all,they appreciated the color combination
of cloth and lining,so that they put a name
to the combination of these two monochromes.Or
they determined an appellation of the new
color for layered style with sensitivity
to beauty,by which they could communicate
with each other.And then,they extended this
method from color combination of cloth and
lining of a single robe,to the color arrangement
of several layered robes.Furthemore,the color
combination of warp and weft of brocaded
fabrics was also categorized into the color
of layered style.They classified these color
combinations by four seasons and others(which
were used at all seasons)to express the seasonal
beauties of nature.
The name of such a color scheme was called
"KASANE IROME"(layered colors)since
around the 17th century (the EDO ERA of Japan).It
is a coinage which did not exist in the HEIAN
ERA.The word "IROME"(color tone)originally
had a meaning of "article" or "item".Apart
from this question,the color of layered style
was a symbolic expression of natural beauty,as
well as an application of the atmosphere
created by its name,to the extent that it
became an expression of literary tastes.
