Paper Abstract
This paper describes the investigation and analysis of color terms in modern Japanese. Japanese people use a large
vocabulary of color terms in Japanese unconsciously in their daily life. The authors have studied the basic color terms.
The color vocabulary was investigated for modern Japanese over 6 years, and in all 2,100 subjects participated in the
vocabulary test. This paper shows the investigation process and analyzes the collected color vocabularies from various
points of view. The vocabulary test is based on a questionnaire format without showing any color samples, where each
subject was requested to answer the question items for color names in two levels of importance. Therefore we collected
their recall color names without a priori clue such as color samples. The frequency of occurrence of the responded color
names is statistically evaluated, and then the importance of color names is analyzed from various points of view.
