Sensitive to the transitions of the seasons, they began to incorporate the colors of nature into their clothing. In the Heian period, people enjoyed the subtle hues created by layering different colored fabrics for the outer and inner surfaces of garments, leading to the development of the "Juni Hitoe" (twelve-layered robe), worn by adjusting the layers of vibrantly colored robes. "Kasane no Iro-me" is this concept of color in Japan. The "Kasane no Iro-me," associated with seasonal words, can be enjoyed throughout the year. Perfect for gifts, a personal treat, or simply to add a touch of lightness and joy to your everyday life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letter Set Letter Paper... 8 sheets (2 colors), lined on the back Envelopes... 4 sheets Size Letter Paper: 148 x 210 mm Envelopes: 162 x 114 mm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
