Description
    "Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染). The Chinese phoenix is a mythical creature with plumage in five colours, combining the characteristics of the qilin, deer, snake, fish, turtle, swallow and chicken. As a divine being who only appears in times of peace and prosperity, he has become a symbol of good fortune in various Asian cultures throughout history. The phoenix motif was likely introduced to Japan during the Asuka period (7th century). It represents happiness, peace, and prosperity, as well as marital harmony and immortality. Sayagata 紗綾形: pattern of interlocking swastika (manji 万字/卍).
