Description
    "Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), possibly a part of a set (hazure はずれ). A kind of Ichimatsu monyō 市松文様 (= "checkerboard" pattern) with stripes in the sqaures. The checkerboard pattern ichimatsu monyō 市松文様, also ichimatsu kōshi 市松格子, is a ishidatami moyō 石畳模様 (= stone pavement pattern). The pattern is said to have come into fashion as "ichimatsu monyō" because the Kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu I. 初代佐野川市松 (1722-1762) had worn a hakama with a stone pavement pattern during a performance, which caused a sensation.
