Description
    "Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), "main stencil" (omogata 主型). Motif with chain-like kikkō 亀甲 and chrysanthemums arranged like tiles. Kikkō tsunagi 亀甲繋ぎ (connected tortoise shells/hexagons): a geometric pattern of hexagons, that was already found in Sassanid art and is said to have come to Japan via China and Korea during the Nara period (710-794). Because of the resemblance to the turtle shell shield, it is called kikko 亀甲. It counts as an auspicious pattern (kisshō monyō 吉祥文様) and since the Heian period (794-1185, also 794-1192) also as a 'courtly pattern' (yūsoku monyō 有職文様).
