  "description": "Purple was the rarest and most expensive dye in medieval Japan. Murasaki (violet) was extracted from the gromwell root and restricted to the highest ranks of the imperial court. Fuji (wisteria) is the blue-purple of temple flowers — quiet but unmistakable. Kikyo (bellflower) is the deeper purple of mountain flora. Edo murasaki is the grey-shifted purple of the merchant city, worn under layered kimonos as a subtle declaration of taste. These palettes carry that full history — from the pale lavender suitable for editorial wellness to the deep ceremonial purple of luxury identity work.",
