灰白 - Inexpressible white - - KUDEN by TAKAHIRO SATO
Japanese is known as one of the most difficult languages in the world.
However, because of this, it has a wide range of expressions, and there are many "beautiful Japanese" from ancient to modern words.
Here, we would like to introduce some of the "Beautiful Japanese" selected by the KUDEN team as "Beautiful Letters."

The shape of the letters is of course beautiful, but if you know the meaning, you can feel the depth of the beauty even more.
We hope you enjoy learning Japanese language not often listed in textbooks.

A formation called podzol is slightly grayish white, which translates to 灰白 soil.
The color seems white in appearance, but is slightly different from white and is conceptually similar to off-white.
Rather than a specific color, it is a general term for a color that is close to white and difficult to describe.

Today, it can be found as a color name in the fashion, design, and painting genres.
