Japonesque Colour Eye Make Up The artwork which is featured on the front of the set is titled ‘Baku’ and after reading about the origins of the title of the name, it would appear that Baku is otherwise known as the ‘dream eater’ and is a mythological being or spirit in Chinese and Japanese folklore which is said to devour nightmares. The baku cannot be summoned without caution, however, as ancient legends say that if the baku is not satisfied after consuming the nightmare, he may also devour one’s hopes and dreams. The natural environment of Japan also defined which colours could be made and recreated – through dyes – by the people of Japan. Thus, the oldest aspects of the Japanese colour palette are directly connected with both rank and hierarchy, as well as the materials at hand in the cities and villages of ancient Japan.Another example is the color orange. Even Japanese people will often opt for the loanword, オレンジ, instead of using the traditional Japanese word: 橙色 (daidaiiro). Rather than actual colors, these words are used to group particular hues and shades. For example, different shades of blue in the past are now purple, gray and green. Confusions Around Colors in Japanese Autumn is often considered the most beautiful season in Japan. Reds of all shades cover the hills and valleys throughout the country. What’s more, the country’s rice is harvested, filling the bowls of citizens (and the wallets of farmers). Harvest season brings with it certain religious celebrations, as well as the traditional browns and reds that result from the end of Japan’s blazing hot summers. You won’t want to miss the momiji red leaves (like miniature maple leaves) that have made cities like Kyoto and Hiroshima hugely popular tourist attractions during the autumn months. The “Twelve Level Cap and Rank System” adopted in 603 defined rank based on the five Chinese elements passed onto Japan through the spread of Buddhism and language from the Asian continent. Based on wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, the ‘Cap and Rank System’ involved coloured caps, worn by ranked officials of the government and imperial court. Through this system important meaning was ingrained into each of the colours adopted in the system. For example, deep purple, the colour allowed only to the highest ranked officials, became attributed to unmatched virtue for its affiliation with elite nobility. Moving down the list, the virtue and ‘rank’ of each colour became increasingly linked to the job and responsibilities of those donning the cap. Inside, what you see is what you get – colour from pan to skin is true and the pay off is that perfect mid point – not so much you end up with clown eye but enough that you have something to work with.
