Description
-
"White ground" (jishiro 地白), probably "main stencil" (omogata 主型). A kind of ichimatsu monyō 市松文様 (checkerboard) with striped rectangles, wheels and cherry blossoms.
The checkerboard pattern ichimatsu monyō 市松文様, also ichimatsu kōshi 市松格子, is a ishidatami moyō 石畳模様 (= stone pavement pattern). The pattern is said to have come into fashion as "ichimatsu monyō" because the Kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu I. 初代佐野川市松 (1722-1762) had worn a hakama with a stone pavement pattern during a performance, which caused a sensation.
