Nippon Colors vs BuildingShift

Nippon Colors is a carefully curated collection of traditional Japanese colors that have been used across centuries in literature, kimono textiles, painting, and a wide range of traditional crafts. These colors reflect the aesthetic sensitivity and seasonal awareness deeply embedded in Japanese culture. Many of the color names are derived from the natural world—plants, flowers, minerals, and animals—whose tones or symbolic meanings inspired their use. Some hues and dyeing techniques can be traced as far back as the Asuka and Heian periods, while others were refined or introduced during the Edo and Meiji periods with the rise of synthetic dyes. Due to the long and diverse history of these color traditions, slight variations in hue and naming may exist across eras and regions. A number of the names also have roots in classical Chinese culture, whose sophisticated hierarchical color system influenced Japan’s own aesthetic developments. In addition to exploring color history, Nippon Colors now includes Saizō, a creative atelier feature powered by AI. Saizō allows you to transform your personal photos into Japanese-style digital artworks using only authentic traditional colors. Each image is securely processed, with all original and generated data deleted after the generation session ends. Note: ■ Swipe left or right to switch colors. ■ Double tap to add a color to the Palette. ■ Swipe up or long press on the main screen to access the main menu, where you can explore all Nippon Colors, manage your Palettes, and enter the Color Atelier.

BuildingShift is an iPhone camera for architectural photography. It shows a perspective-corrected, safely cropped final composition in the viewfinder, so you can see the result before you press the shutter. Features: • Live correction for perspective changes caused by roll and pitch • Motion-based leveling assistance • A final-aspect corrected viewfinder with safe cropping • Lens and focal presets discovered from the device’s actual camera capabilities • The original photo and corrected result saved together • Fully on-device operation with no account or cloud service BuildingShift follows a what-you-see-is-what-you-get workflow: the shutter freezes the correction already presented on screen; the app does not silently re-estimate perspective or cropping afterward. When device capability, motion data, or geometry is limited, it shows a warning and falls back safely. Designed for high-rise buildings, interiors, street facades, and city photography. Automated line refinement, post-capture editing, manual four-corner correction, and video correction are not included in this version.
