In Shinto, which enshrines Japanese gods, five colors are used as lucky charms and amulets
The five colors are "green, red, yellow, white, purple"
Green = East ・ Spring ・ Manners ・ Eyes ・ Seiryu
Red = Middle ・ Summer ・ Benevolence ・ Tongue ・ Suzaku
Yellow = Medium ・ Midsummer ・ Righteousness ・ Mouth ・ Kirin
White = West ・ Autumn ・ Wisdom ・ Nose ・ Byakko
Purple = North ・ Winter ・ Trust ・ Ear ・ Genbu
Each color has this meaning
It is thought that the Ying-Yang Five Elements theory, which was introduced with the introduction of Buddhism, also has an influence
Seiryu・Suzaku・Kirin・Byakko・Genbu
In them, it is said to be a spirit beast that is handed down to the Orient and protects each direction
You can feel the remnants of the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism as the main Japanese people until the law came into effect in the Meiji era

Color is very powerful!

It's amazing just how powerful color, sound and words are!
Yet taken for granted.

Like Christianity, the higher awareness of Yeshua, along with Sadartha / Buddha (translates to "The Awakened One) was turned into religions.

It's not surprising to me that like christian religion permeating many coutries and cultures earth leader wanted to control, that the religion called Buddism permiated so many eastern cultures.

I Love and honor these beautiful Beings (Yeshua and Sadartha) who came and shared our true Divine essence. However sadly, so many have been taught to worship and obey these world leaders who have used these beautiful teachers as martyrs to their cause, thus deliberately overshadowing their Divine message.

Sounds like Japan has been subjected similarly thru corrupt leaders.
Your information has me wanting to research deeper!
NAMASTE!

As the Universe is made of numbers or, numbers are a universal language.
For many years I've been shown that colors correspond to basic numbers. They always appear to correlate as the same.
This may or may not be my own assigned color/number combination.
Or these combos could be Universal.
Will be fun to find out in the future!

1= White
2= Pink
3=Yellow
4= Blue
5= Red
6= Brown
7= Green
8= this is a shade of blue difficult to describe
9= Violet
10= Black (all colors combined)

Interesting that all colors become richer and more vibrant when seen by people who have near death or Divine experiences!

In addition, the orange color, which is often used in shrine temples, is also used as an amulet to protect the sanctuary, just like the five colors
This orange color is called vermilion, and vermilion is originally the color of the natural red pigment cinnabar, and vermilion as the color name originally refers to this color
Cinnabar is a mineral composed of mercury sulfide, also known as the philosopher's stone
There is an old legend that cinnabar is made of the blood of the dragon body of the goddess of the Japanese god world
There are many shrines whose names and main deities have been changed by those in power at various times
However, it can be seen that the shrine with a vermilion temple originally enshrined one of the goddesses of the Japanese god world

Grand Rising my Beautiful Friend!
Thank you for this very interesting information!
I will never think of vermillion or cinnabar the same.
Have a most beautiful day!
