Japan Pink

Are Red and Pink the Same in Japan?

I was wondering, since Japan seems to think of Blue and Green as the same thing basically, are Red and Pink the same also?

I’m studying Japanese and I was just wondering?

Because individual colors are not as individual as we tend to think. There is a spectrum of colors, a certain point of which is perceived as blue, pink, green, etc, but where on the spectrum one color ends and the next one begins is arbitrary and seems to differ from culture to culture (and probably from person to person). The number of colors in the rainbow, for example, is 7 in Japan, but in other parts of the world it varies – 2, 5, 7, etc.

And in the old days, the Japanese word ao (blue) included what we now see as green. Today, there is a fairly clear distinction between the two colors; for example, if you show a green piece of paper to a Japanese person and ask what color it is, he or she will invariably answer “midori”. But the usage of “ao” for green remains in a lot of idiomatic expressions, such as green traffic light, green apple, and green caterpillar (cabbageworm). The same goes for red/pink, although to a lesser extent perhaps.

Pink $38.98 From the rosy tint of wind-reddened cheeks to the first flush of arousal, from cherry blossoms to PeptoBismol, pink is a sweet, intimate, fragile and sickening shade. Few colors trigger more contradictory associations and emotions--tender, childish, plastic, pornographic--or are so symbolic of both high and low culture. Pink is sometimes awkward, even embarrassing, but on the other hand it is enjoyed and associated with the idea of beauty. Artists of all hues, from Jean-Honore Fragonard to Pablo Picasso, Caspar David Friedrich, Louise Bourgeois, Sylvie Fleury or Pipilotti Rist, have studied it in their works. The examples collected here include those and more, featuring Caspar David Friedrich, the early Joseph Beuys, Willem De Kooning, Andy Warhol and Yves Klein, not to mention contemporaries like Christo, Nan Goldin, Vanessa Beecroft, Wolfgang Tillmans, Takashi Murakami and Pipilotti Rist. In addition, Pink gathers work by a group of young talents from the Bauhaus University in Vienna and the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, where working students cooperated over an interactive web site to investigate the color's most current perceptions and uses. Their final selection suggests, among other things, that viewer reactions are determined by cultural factors. For example, the positive perception of pink in Japan seems strikingly masculine to the Western viewer; every year the country pauses to contemplate the pink blossoms of the cherry trees, which, after just a few days, drift like snow to the ground, symbols of the death of the samurai, who falls in the bloom of youth. As the cherry trees blossom, this book on the nature of pink makes its debut, an unusual intercultural discourse.
