In compiling this dictionary of Japanese color names Nagasaki Seiki, a leading authority on the history of color, marshaled a wealth of valuable evidence that he had collected over the years, including ancient texts such as the Engishiki, antique fabrics, and albums of dye samples. The volume also includes a chronological table of written sources, a chart listing Japanese color names with their Western equivalents, a bibliography, and a list of English color names, along with a handy set of color charts.
