koharu’s DO・RE・MI・FA・SO

koharu, my granddaughter, was singing a song merrily.

koharu suddenly stopped singing and said to me,

“Grandma, what color image do you have
when you hear the sound of DO?”

I was surprised and said to her,
"What? Color of the sound of DO?
Oh, I’ve never thought of it! What do you mean?”

koharu said to me,
“Each sound of DO・RE・MI・FA・SO・LA・TI
has its own color.”

She feels DO is white and pink.
She feels RE is orange.
She feels MI is transparent blue.
She feels FA is yellow green of prairies.
She feels SO is yellow of innumerable stars in the sky
She feels LA is transparent bluish purple.
She feels TI is light purple.

Then she drew visual images of DO・RE・MI・FA・SO.
