Pattern Description
Uroko Gondayū Mon(Warp-patterned Brocade)

A simple geometric pattern composed of regular triangles in continuation is called "Uroko Mon" (scale pattern),which symbolizes the snak e and has been highly regarded by people as a charm against the devil and ill luck.
The basic design of this piece is adopted from the "Gonday ū Kinran", a gold brocade which is counted among the "Meibutsu-gire (celeb rated textiles imported from abroad, mainly China, in the 14th-18th centuries, closely connected with tea ceremony). The original fabric was n amed after Gondayū Chōandō, a local governor in Nara and its proud owner.
With our original pattern composition and colour scheme a very colourful warp-patterned brocade has been executed.
