Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), possibly a part of a set (hazure はずれ). In this case, the shippō 七宝 motif consists of hoshi shippō 星七宝 ("star shippō"; marked intersections).
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”.
