Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染), "canceling-out stencil" (keshigata 消型). Combination of OR 3925-1889-1 and OR 3925-1889-2: star shape consisting of five diamonds on benkeigōshi 弁慶格子 (benkei grid, grid pattern with broad lines).
In a performance of the play Kanjinchō 勧進帳 (written at the beginning of the 19th century) the figure Benkei 弁慶 wore a robe with a grid pattern with wide lines. This is said to have led to the fact that the pattern came into fashion as benkeigōshi 弁慶格子.
