Mamdo (Kantou) refers to striped or plaid textiles brought to Japan from the Muromachi period (1333-1573) to the Edo period (1603-1868). The majority of these fabrics were made of silk striped fabrics from the southern region of China. The characteristic mamidori patterns were prized as "meimono saké" (specialty textiles), and were often used for tea utensils such as tea bags and other items for the tea ceremony. Therefore, it is said to have had a great influence on the development of striped fabrics in the early modern period.
Tatsumura Bijutsu Orimono has long devoted itself to the restoration and study of these mamdo patterns. In this special issue, we pick up these mamdo patterns and propose them again. Please enjoy the patterns loved by many tea masters.
