Discover the book that has become a secret weapon for graphic designers, fashion students, and artists around the world.
Originally published in the 1930s as a 6-volume set titled Haishoku Soukan, this collection was the work of Sanzo Wada (1883–1967) — a visionary artist, teacher, and costume designer who was pivotal in the Japanese avant-garde scene. Wada did not just catalog colors; he understood how they interacted.
This compact reprint by Seigensha Art Publishing compiles 348 color combinations from Wada’s original research. It moves beyond standard color theory, offering unique, emotive, and historically rich palettes that feel just as modern today as they did nearly a century ago.

-
Historical Significance: A fascinating look at Japanese pre-war color sensibilities.
-
Practical Utility: Includes CMYK color values for each hue, making it instantly usable for digital and print design.
