Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染).
The maple leaf (kaede 楓, also: momiji 紅葉) is considered a symbol of a long and successful life because it changes color depending on the season. Especially in autumn, the foliage shines in the most beautiful colors. Maple leaves are already sung about in the oldest poetry (Man'yōshū 万葉集, Kokin Wakashū 古今和歌集), and maple leaf motifs on robes are described in the Heian period (Makura-no Sōshi 枕草子, Eiga Monogatari 栄花物語). Even banquets "to admire discolored maple leaves" are said to have been held from the second half of the Heian period onwards.
