Can you read? Japanese traditional colors "Soshoku" is not pronounced as "Soshoku"













A pure color that doesn't mix with anything. The traditional color called ``soku'' is the addition of color to ``prime'', which has its origin in the essence that is left untouched. It's a thin, light, and vibrant color. The natural color, which is different from pure white, is subtle yet gentle and warm. It is also a color that blends easily with human skin and relieves tension.
