Green Sky, Blue Grass - this title is perhaps irritating: isn't the
sky blue and the grass green? In ancient Japanese poetry the sky is
sometimes described as green, and the grass as blue. Even though
all people see the same way, physiologically speaking, colours are
perceived differently, and in various cultures they are ordered
according to different criteria. In addition, many diverse social
and cosmological ideas are linked to colours. This publication
sheds light on the phenomenon of "colour" from interdisciplinary
perspectives. Anthropological case studies enter into a dialogue
with essays from the fields of philosophy, linguistics, and
physics.
