I have visited to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum this morning. Notably, its description of the Nuclear Bomb experiences were characterized by many color terms.
Such as, blackish red-orange, grey, black rain or purple spots. Nonetheless our memories of visual information tend to be composed of color, each color represented pain.
On 9 August, I have done oral presentation at Replaying Japan 2019 held by Ritsumeikan Center for Game Studies in Kyoto. The presentation title was ‘A Study of Card Game to Increase the Vocabulary of Japanese Traditional Color’ (sponsored by the grant of HAYAO NAKAYAMA Foundation for Science & Technology and Culture)

On 31 May, I went to Shibaura Senior High School in Shin-Toyosu to give a visiting lecture called Arts and Tech. My topic was ‘Primary Color Theory — Visual Illusion, Op Art and Digital Art’.
On 10-11 May, I have attended 2nd International Conference: Digital Culture & AudioVisual Challenges, Interdisciplinary Creativity in Arts and Technology at Ionian University, Corfu, Greece.
I gave an oral presentation on the First Color Digital Art x Lighting Symposium and Workshop held at SIT in March.
I just bought a used color chart: Color Dictionary, which indicates the price: 3,500 yen. The average starting salary in 1954 was around 10,000 yen. Thus 20 x 3,500 yen turns to be 70,000 yen. Still color charts are costly in nowadays.
