A Dictionary of Color Combinations - Volume 2

Second book in the series: classic Japanese color recipes for use in design, fashion, interiors, art and more.

From 1933 to 1934, Sanzo Wada published a collection of color combinations that was the first of its kind in Japan. In 2010, Seigensha republished this classic as A Dictionary of Color Combinations , which was praised by Die Zeit as a source of inspiration filled with a captivating array of “nuances we didn’t even know existed.”

Now, as a follow-up to this long-running bestseller, A Dictionary of Color Combinations Vol. 2 brings back two more of Wada's works - originally published in 1935–1936 and 1938 respectively. The book contains 72 color patterns inspired by the Japanese seasons, as well as 165 color combinations taken from fashion, interiors, and graphic design from the early to mid-20th century.

This makes the book an indispensable reference for designers, fashion and interior experts, illustrators, photographers, writers and anyone else who works creatively.
