Sukiya Bukuro (A Pouch) (Tea-things) (anthemion-to-inoshishi)

The idea of this design is adopted from pattern drawn on large vase called "Krater" which was used as wine-water mixture in Ancient Greece around 460 BC. The style of the original design was called "Anthemion" which was the radial pattern of plants like honeysuckle and lotus, and used as the design on the vase and on the stone sculpture of sacred places. We have woven into warp-patterned brocade with design of wild boar appeared in the ancient myth in the streaming anthemion pattern, thinking of the classical arts of Greece having been reached to the summit of development.
