十人十色
jūnintoiro
Ten People, Ten Colors
Ten people, ten colors.
Master Takase creates this beautiful scroll when your order is placed, personally preparing the ink and brushing your art, which proudly bears her signature and seal. This is an original work of art.
Description
Ten People, Ten Colors in Japanese is 十人十色 which is read jūnintoiro
十人十色 (jūnin toiro): ten people, ten colors.
Ten people, ten colors: everyone is their own kind, and the proverb says so without judging it. Ten is not a count, it stands for everyone, and the colors are kinds, characters, tastes, the picture that every English proverb of minds and tastes lacks, which is why the literal English is the right one. The dictionaries have read it as hearts, as minds and as tastes, and the gentlest reading, that it celebrates our differences, is one the sources support; which you hang it for is yours.
We want you to be as happy with the meaning as you are with Master Takase's art. To learn more, visit Philology of 十人十色.
