Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染).
The pattern with octagonal and quadrangle combinations is named after Chinese shokkō brocade (shokkō nishiki 蜀江錦).
Asa no ha 麻の葉 (hemp leaves): a hexagonal pattern called asa no ha 麻の葉 because it resembles the hemp leaves. A hemp plant is robust and grows straight up. Therefore, the pattern is said to have been preferred for the clothes of the newborns. It is not only found on kimonos, but also on obi, under kimonos and small pouches.
