The color scheme uses two shades that evoke the light and dark of the night sky. The pattern adopted is called "Hoshi Shichihō" (Star Seven Treasures), which originates from the ancient Japanese practice of representing stars with circles. ~What is Kasane no Irome?~ Japan, with its rich seasonal changes, has fostered aesthetic sensibilities alongside its beautiful landscapes. People became highly attuned to the transitions of the seasons and began incorporating nature's colors into their clothing. In the Heian period, people enjoyed the hues created by layering fabrics for the outer and inner surfaces of clothing, leading to the creation of the "Juni Hitoe" (twelve-layered robe), worn by slightly shifting layers of colorful garments. Kasane no Irome refers to this concept of color in Japan. The "Kasane no Irome" based on seasonal words can be enjoyed throughout the year. Perfect as a gift, a personal treat, it will lightly and cheerfully brighten your everyday life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letter Set Letter Paper... 8 sheets (2 colors), lined on the back Envelopes... 4 sheets size Letter Paper: 148×210mm Envelope: 162×114mm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
