Collection detail
Shinrin-yoku
Shinrin-yoku — forest bathing, the Japanese practice of restorative immersion in forest environments — produces measurable physiological effects: reduced cortisol, lowered blood pressure, improved mood. The palette of the forest is not bright: it is layered, muted, and deeply varied in green. Sunlight filters through canopy and becomes something else — dappled, indirect, green-shifted. The palette of forest bathing is green at every scale, with earthy brown anchors and the occasional filtered warm light.
A beech forest in Kyoto Prefecture, October. The light comes through the canopy in pieces and arrives at the forest floor green and muted. The only sound is footsteps on damp leaf matter. Time passes differently here.

Editorial direction
Collections should do more than group swatches. Each one should read like a usable design direction with a clear emotional lane and a real application surface.
This detail route is the missing layer between a generic palette gallery and a convincing design reference. It gives the set a specific point of view.
