Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), "main stencil" (omogata 主型). Stencil dealers' seal (shōin 商印) at the bottom of the stencil.
Bamboo (CHIKU/take 竹) is valued for its straight and strong growth. Since its does not wither even in winter, it represents immortality and longevity or strength, but also purity.
Kanzemizu-mon 観世水文: originally a family crest of the Nō dynasty Kanze 観世 depicts a water swirl. The appearance of Kabuki actor Gen’nosuke 源之助, the later Sawamura Sōjūrō IV. 四代目沢村宗十郎 (1784-1813), as Komamono Yashichi in a robe with a kanzemizu pattern led to the motif becoming fashionable.
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”.
