Since ancient, purple pigments have been extracted from plant roots named Shikon (紫根). It's very difficult to cultivate, and nowadays it's one of the very rare natural materials. Surprisingly, I found after I moved from Tokyo to the countryside in Oita Prefecture ten years ago that it's still cultivated here in small quantities.
It's similar to beetroot, which has a deep reddish-purple color but turns gray if boiled for too long. So I came up with the idea that the color is likened to the famous L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain, and created the purple hour between the blue hour and midnight.
