What is Japan's traditional color "Hatoha Nezumi"?
Pigeon is a general term for birds belonging to the pigeon family. In ancient times, it was used as a traditional communication pigeon and was considered a symbol of peace. Hatoba Nezumi, from which the word pigeon was used, began to be dyed in the late Edo period, and continued to be popular from the Meiji period onwards, along with traditional colors such as mauve. The new and old dyeing commentary and coloring sheet for the ``Handbook for Model Festivals'' states that ``Hato Haizumi Yamabato Iroto are not available in this color separately,'' and a purplish gray color chart is published. .
