〜ずくめ
Formation
Meaning
Indicates that something is full of, covered in, or entirely composed of a certain element (often restricted to objects, colors, or events).
Note
Commonly used in fixed expressions like 'kuro-zukume' (all in black) or 'ii-koto-zukume' (nothing but good things). Unlike 'darake', it is often used for positive or neutral things and suggests that the entire thing is filled with it.
