Clothing or robes — evoking silk, elegance and care. Popular in gentle feminine names like Yui (結衣, 'tied robes'), one of Japan's top girls' names of the past two decades.
Indigo — the deep blue of traditional Japanese dyeing (aizome). Parents choose it for a child with depth and quiet strength; the proverb 'blue comes from indigo yet is bluer than indigo' means a student surpassing their master.
