Item Description (Brand New)

This item is brand new.

This is a 2-book set of “A Dictionary of Color Combinations Vol.1 & Vol.2”, beautifully curated Japanese design books based on the classic color studies of renowned artist Sanzo Wada.

Originally created in the Taisho to early Showa period, when the concept of “color coordination” was not yet widely recognized, these books represent one of the earliest and most influential works in Japanese color design.

This set is a reprint of the famous “Haishoku Sokan” (Complete Color Combinations), originally published in the 1930s, now revived in a compact and modern format.

■ Features

  • 348 color combination patterns from Vol.1
  • 72 seasonal-inspired palettes + 161 examples from Vol.2
  • Based on traditional Japanese color aesthetics from the early 20th century
  • Includes CMYK values and color chips for practical use
  • Useful for design, fashion, interior, illustration, photography, and more

These books offer timeless color inspiration that remains relevant even in modern design.
