The Relationship Between Iron, Red, and Earth

The birth of the Earth happened when nuclear fusion occurred inside stars, forming clumps of iron. When these clumps of iron collapsed, 92 types of chemical elements were created. From these, we know that even complex beings like us humans have evolved.

The relationship between this "iron" and the color red is very close.

As humans, we seek healing and go to "power spots." These "power spots" exist in many places, including Japan, but if we are to talk about recent popular spots, it would be "Sedona" in the United States.

"Sedona," located in the remote part of Arizona, is a place where red rock mountains spread across, often referred to as Red Rock Country. It has long been revered as a "sacred place" by the indigenous people. You may ask, "Why are these mountains red?" It is believed to be due to the oxidation of iron, turning it red.

Keeping this color "red" in mind, if you seek out power spots, you would find Australia's "Ayers Rock" which is also red due to the oxidation of iron.

Recent research has revealed that the temples in Machu Picchu, South America were painted red. In Hawaii, Kilauea Volcano, where the volcano goddess Pele resides, is filled with the energetic red glow of magma.

Our Earth, which contains iron, turns red as the iron on its surface is exposed and oxidized. We gather in these red lands, which contain iron, seeking energy purification.

Speaking of which, even the torii gates of Shinto shrines in Japan are red. Red is the key to the birth of the Earth and the origin of life.

Perhaps we visit these power spots to trace back the ancient memories of our Mother Earth.

The Strategy of Diamonds, Yellow, and Madame de Pompadour

Madame de Pompadour, a bourgeoisie woman who held the favor of King Louis XV for over twenty years in the 18th century, greatly contributed to the development of French culture. Her charm, education, and intellect allowed her to converse with writers and philosophers on an equal footing.

Not only known for her beauty and vivacious personality, she was also a master communicator who knew how to entertain those around her. But her influence went even deeper, reaching into the spheres of culture, crafts, and arts, and even gems. Named after the marquisate title King Louis XV bestowed upon Madame de Pompadour, the boat-shaped diamond cut that emerged in Paris at that time was dubbed the 'Marquise'.

Did you know that Earth is called an 'iron star'? Without iron, our Earth would not have assumed its current form.

Iron exists in various animals and plants. The fusion of the Earth's core with iron has given birth to many elements that form the foundation of life.

Recently, the Suntory development team developed the world's first rose with 100% blue pigment. By using genetic recombination technology to introduce this blue gene into roses, we succeeded in accumulating almost 100% blue pigment in the petals, thus creating a 'blue rose'.

However, the Agricultural Bio Center of the Toyama Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries General Technology Center did not create blue with this genetic recombination, but deciphered the molecular mechanism that turns cells blue.

Until now, genetic recombination technology of blue pigment was used to create blue pigment, but it was found that the gene carrying iron turns blue when it binds with purple pigment by the molecular mechanism.

Iron - its fusion leads to the color blue.

The substance that could be called the foundation of Earth is involved to this extent.

There are various theories as to why Earth looks blue from space, such as 'only blue light reaches the bottom of the sea', but the real reason might be that it 'looks blue because it contains iron'.

We use the phrase 'envisioning the blueprint of life.' In it, iron is deeply involved from the beginning of life. The indispensable iron for human civilization allows the organisms on Earth to evolve and continue to live.

It is full of the power of a mysterious color.

My surname is 'Shirato' Given that it includes a character related to color, I feel it was inevitable that I would end up in my current profession.

I learned that the origin of the character for 'white' dates back to ancient China, and it is said to have come from the color of the human skull. Indeed, the color 'white' is used in religious ceremonies. It is a color that symbolizes the sanctity of deities.

It is indeed the color of the beginning, when the gods of heaven created humans, and it is also the color of the end, when human life comes to a close and returns to the corpse.

White is a color that encompasses everything from the beginning to the end.

There are many murals and paintings in various countries around the world where gods are depicted wearing white. I think there is a history of us having a shared consciousness somewhere and using 'white' discriminatively.

Sunlight also appears as white light when visible light rays are condensed. Thanks to this sunlight, we, along with other organisms, are able to maintain healthy bodies.

The color white might be closely integrating the beginning and the end of life.
