[KOHROZEN]

After dyeing yellow with Japanese wax tree, it is dyed with Suoh (蘇芳) or Shikon (紫根).

“Kohrozen (黄櫨染)” was the color of the robe and Sokutai (束帯*) worn by Emperor Reiwa during the ceremony of imperial succession. It is called “Zettai-kinjiki (絶対禁色)”, and even now it is a color that can only be worn by the emperor.



* Sokutai(束帯) : From the Heian period onwards, formal attire for male court nobles below the emperor (Heian costume).
