About this combination
Seiji is the blue-green glaze of Longquan and Arita celadons — a color prized across East Asia for a thousand years. Kinari is the natural color of undyed hemp and silk. Together they compose the simplest, quietest tea-ceremony still life.

Historical context
This palette is inspired by the tradition of Sanzo Wada's 1933 Dictionary of Color Combinations, which cataloged combinations drawn from centuries of Japanese cultural life. The specific colors here use traditional shikisai names that have been in the public domain for generations.
