Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), probably a part of a set (hazure はずれ). Circles and double stripes with orinui shibori 折り縫い絞り ("plissee" tie-dye) pattern.
Seigaiha 青海波 („blue ocean waves): a pattern that can be found in many regions of the world. In Japan it can be found on Haniwa robes from the Kofun period (approx. 300-538). But only since the Kamakura period (1185-1333) has the pattern been associated with water (e.g. Koseto jugs). The name seigaiha 青海波is said to go back to a title of a Gagaku dance.
