A two-page article from The Craftsman arguing that modern Western civilization has dulled the perception of color, in contrast with Oriental craftsmen and primitive peoples. It describes an experiment matching the colors of an old Japanese print with a card mask and painters' pigments. The writer concludes that each Oriental color contained all three primaries, which made the colors harmonize however they were combined. The article is about color theory and dyes; it has no weaving instructions.
