The Ichi: A recommended brand specializing in Japanese style
Japanese patterns on parasols? What impression do you have when you hear the words "Japanese patterns"?
You will often see them in special situations where people wear Japanese clothing such as kimonos and yukatas.
Japanese patterns, which are indispensable for Japanese accessories and kimonos, have countless varieties and a history of undergoing changes over the years.
Many of today's Japanese patterns have natural motifs while still inheriting historical designs.
The design expresses its characteristics and charm through motifs such as flowing water that gives a feeling of coolness, pine trees that are a symbol of longevity, butterflies that represent change, and cherry blossoms, which are representative of Japan.
Furthermore, traditional Japanese patterns that are familiar as tenugui designs, such as "shippo," "hemp leaf," and "seigaiha" (wave pattern), which repeat basic patterns, have meanings such as "never ending" and "eternity," and each one is imbued with meaning.
Japanese patterns, which embrace the four seasons and carry on traditions, have been loved by many Japanese people since ancient times.
In today's world, where things are constantly changing, there are still many people who say, "I love Japanese patterns!" or "I just can't resist Japanese accessories!" I'll be honest and say that I'm one of them!
Japanese patterns are great, aren't they? We're impressed by the stylish and cool designs featuring ukiyo-e and family crests, and we're captivated by cute patterns of flowers and animals.
The Japanese are particular about color, and have created a wide variety of rich, delicate, and gentle colors known as "traditional colors" or "Japanese colors." The combination of these colors and Japanese patterns has captured the hearts of fans even more.
