A Dictionary Of Color Combinations Vol 1 (Japanese Edition)

Description:

Sanzo Wada (1883-1967) was an artist, teacher, costume and kimono designer during a turbulent time in avant-garde Japanese art and cinema. Wada was ahead of his time in developing traditional and Western influenced colour combinations, helping to lay the foundations for contemporary colour research. Based on his original 6-volume work from the 1930s, this book offers 348 color combinations, as attractive and sensuous as the books own design.

This is my color reference for just about everything, whether you need help combining colors for your outfits or are making design choices , its a great resource. Text and layout is aesthetically appealing from a graphic design perspective too, totally recommend if you need color references for your day to day and love vintage japanese color combinations

5.0 out of 5 stars Smaller than it looked on Amazon but bigger than I could have imagined.

A wonderful little book, suitable for the pocket, with only the fly and the color names in English. The fact that the rest is in Japanese (in both the upper and lower forms) isn't important because the vivid colors speak for themselves and the combinations of selected colors are brilliant. This is filled with important colors on display, and how they relate to one another in these great comparative selections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for color combination in wardrobe

4.0 out of 5 stars A perfect little reference book

X. · February 4, 2024

I agree with other reviewers that this little book is great - it has a nice feel to it and a great little size. It took me a while to catch on to the organization (all text is in Japanese), but essentially it organizes 159 different colors into combinations of 2, 3, and 4 - then indicates what page it is on for each combination of that color. The back pages of colors are one sided so (I'm guessing) can be cut off into strips to play around with to make your own combinations - or match elsewhere. That makes this part work book, a nice touch!Some of the color combinations allowed me to see my wardrobe a little differently, a very good thing! Some of the color combinations I find to be too weird. However, the reason I got this reference book of colors is because of my own painting compositions and I know it will prove to be useful.

Nice book, it is what it is: a dictionnaire of colors

Ponha-o na sua biblioteca!

M. · May 19, 2023

Apesar de pequeno e ter capa simples é um livro referência que deve ser incorporado à sua biblioteca. Um incoveniente é que ele não é totalmente bilíngue. Claro, temos que considerar que as combinações foram concebidas nos anos 30 do século passado e muita coisa já não é tão aplicável.

Harika bir kitap!

O.Ş. · October 8, 2025

Planlanandan daha hızlı geldi. Gümrükte problem yaşamadık. Uzun zamandır beklediğimiz bir eserdi. Zaten internette resmi web sitesi ama yine de elimizde baskılı halinin olmasını dilemiştik. Renkleri seven ve işi/hayatı renk olan insanlara tavsiye ederim.
