^ Actually, AbsentMorn is correct because the color White doesn't symbolize those things in Japanese culture. In Japan, white is the color associated with Death and traditional funeral colors are white. A corpse will be covered/wrapped in a white clothing, and traditionally burial clothing is a white kimono.

So to the intended (Japanese) audience, white = death.
