Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), "canceling-out stencil" (keshigata 消型), possibly multipart. Pattern on sparrows: vertical bamboo stripes (takejima 竹縞).
Fukura suzume (fluffed sparrow) is an auspicious motif, as the name can also be written with the characters fuku福 (happiness), ra 良 (good) and suzume 雀 (sparrow) or with the characters fuku福 (happiness), rai来 (coming) and suzume 雀 (sparrow). Its 'fluffed and puffed-up' shape gives the impression of a good, carefree life.
