Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染).
Kasamatsu 笠松: "plaited" hat pine tree; pine tree with branches spread on all sides.
The pattern of evergreen pine trees that withstand the severe winter cold is auspicious and a symbol of both longevity and sobriety, as well as the prosperity of the descendants.
The blossom of the plum (BAI/ume 梅) is a symbol of the beginning of spring, as it begins to bloom in the cold season. The plum blossom pattern is auspicious and represents longevity, endurance and prosperity of the descendants.
Stencils for komon 小 紋 ("fine pattern") are mostly made in the drill cutting
