In the old days, Prince Shotoku. As for the crown of the nobility, "purple" was the color representing the highest position. Even the monks were able to wear purple clothes only to the highest monks.
Later, these ideas spread to the general public, and purple was revered as a color with elegance and personality. Purple is a color that heals the mind and body. The predecessors knew this from their experience, and they said that when they were uneasy, they put purple things around them. For the celebration of Kishou, the celebration is based on the keyword purple, which has a respect for longevity and a heart of love. of course,Even if you don't care about purple, take care of your heart and celebrate.
