What is the traditional Japanese color "Hanada"?

Hanada is a blue color that is lighter than indigo and darker than asagi. Clothing color names such as deep indigo and light indigo already appear in the "Nihon Shoki," which shows that colors were divided according to rank and purpose even at that time. The "Engishiki" also describes a dyeing method using indigo and kihada, and among indigo dyes, kihada was considered to be a pure blue color dyed only with indigo. Indigo-dyed clothing was durable and practical, so it was sometimes incorporated into samurai kamishimo (kamishimo) during the Edo period.

Hanada = Hanada

It is the name of the indigo dye color that has been known since ancient times, and its name has changed over time. In the Heian period, it was called "Hana-dairo" (indigo blue), and in the Edo period, it was called "Hana-iro" (flower color). "Hana-da" is pronounced "hana-da".
