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.

Japanese quoted from : goo辞書

This is one of our NAGOMI Shirt color.
涅 refers to the black soil that settles to the bottom of the water.
Many people today would say, “I can't read 涅色,” a word that is not used in everyday life.
In ancient times, this soil was used to dye cloth, hence the color of this name.
As I mentioned in another article before, these dark colors were considered lower clothing colors.
It may have been determined not only by the beauty of the color, but also by the scarcity of the materials used for dyeing.
I mentioned earlier that many people cannot read “涅色,” but the kanji for “涅” itself is familiar to Japanese people, because 涅 is part of the word “涅槃,” which means nirvana.
