Can you read? Japan's traditional color "Peony Mouse" It seems that people in the past expressed the dull color as a mouse.












 

 

A gorgeous peony flower. Even a single flower has a color that gives it the presence of a heroine. However, when you add a touch of gray to it, it becomes a much more chic color. People in the past expressed the addition of a dull color, ``gray,'' to the original color as ``mouse.'' That's why it's called "Peony Mouse". Creates a gorgeous yet somber look. This feels irresistibly stylish.
