Description
    "Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), probably "canceling-out stencil" (keshigata 消型). Bishamon kikkō 毘沙門亀甲: a pattern of three composite kikkō (mitsumori kikkō 三盛亀甲 = „triple“ kikkō). Since Bishamon-ten 毘沙門天, god of fortune and guardian, is often depicted in an armor with this pattern (as in Tōdaiji 東大寺, Nara), this pattern is commonly called bishamon kikkō.
