Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染). Stencil dealers' seal (shōin 商印) at the bottom of the stencil.
Shippō tsunagi 七宝繋ぎ („seven Treasures“; interlaced circles): an auspicious pattern (kisshō monyō 吉祥文様) with circles of equal size, placed and connected in an overlapping manner. The circle represents perfection. It is uncertain whether this pattern can be associated with the "Seven Treasures" of Buddhism. Perhaps because human relationships and connections are just as valuable as the “Seven Treasures”.
Sangi kuzushi 算木崩し: sangi 算木 = oracle wands, kuzushi 崩し = "dispersed". A pattern like alternating horizontally and vertically divided paving stones.
