ki, ō, kō

The color yellow is kiiro or kiiroi.

Kōsa is yellow sand. Sa means sand. Wind-blown yellow sand from China sometimes reaches Japan.

I have mentioned that fine silk fabrics from Hachijōjima are called hachijō. Kihachijō is a yellow hachi jō. Thanks to Adeyto, we can see how it is dyed and woven at YouTube.
