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

by Wada published in 1935–1936 and 1938,respectively. The book presents 72 color patterns themed on the
Japanese seasons and another 165 drawn from early to mid-twentieth-century fashion, interior, and graphic
design, making it an indispensable reference for designers, fashion and interior specialists, illustrators,
photographers, writers, and indeed anyone engaged in creative work.
