Patterns
Chiku-rin Neko Tsunagi-mon Nishiki(Kasuga-ōchō Brocade with Design of Bamboo Groves and Cats)
Design of this brocade is originated from a pattern drawn on the "Kin-ji-raden-kenuki-gata-tachi" ("Tachi" Sword Mounting with Mother-of-pearl on a Gold Ground and Hilt of "Kenuki-gata" (tweezer-shaped opening) Type), which is the cats dangling the sparrows in bamboo grove were splendidly drawn on the gold "Ikakeji" ground sheath by a mother-of-pearl work, plus flowers and scrolls were chased on the hilt.
"Kenuki-gata-tachi" was used by high-ranked officers in the Imperial Guards where sons of powerful aristocrats served. Only a few of the swords of this kind are left today, out of which this piece is the most gorgeous article.
We have woven into warp-patterned brocade depicting the humorous figure of the cats, which were displayed in the original by the highest technique in the Heian period, in a beehive pattern with our authentic tehnique.
The Source : National Treasure owned by Kasuga Taisha "Kin-ji-raden-kenuki-gata-tachi", Heian Period (12th C.)
Fuku-neko Kohshi-mon(Design of Good-Luck Cat and Cross Stripes Pattern)
This design is composed of the cross stripes pattern diversely developed in the Edo period (1603~1867AD) in the popular culture like the costume of KABUKI play and UKIYO-E (color print), and a cat arched its back which was widely loved by people in the same era.
The cross stripes made of thick and thin lines are called “OKINA-KOHSHI” (a plaid pattern of old man) depicting a grandfather and a grandchild respectively meaning the prosperity of descendants. The cat is a symbol of good fortune as "FUKU-NEKO" (a good-luck cat) as it protects the crop and the treasure from the rat’s biting and gnawing. The cat is also idolized especially by sailors as the guardian deity for the same reason.
We have woven into the warp-patterned brocade with the design of the linear manner of the checks and the soft figure of the good-luck cat.
