Another fascinating example of the culture, Japanese color theory plunges the primary colors into deep symbolism.

Inherited from China, the theory links colors with the five fundamental elements of nature, as well as the seasons, different directions, and honorable virtues.

The symbolism is then used to guide the creation of secondary shades, subsequently producing subcategories of meaning as well.

Standardisation of the Japanese color wheel was conducted around 600AD and western recognition of it was as late as the mid-19th century, because Japan was largely secluded from the rest of the globe until that time.

Here, we will detail this theory of color, outlining the individual links between symbolism and the colors themselves.
