Ko-bukusa Cloth "SANKAKU miffy (blue)"

Children's Day in 2026 is scheduled to fall on May 5 (Tuesday). In Japan, it was introduced as one of the five festivals in the Nara and Heian periods, and by the Edo period (1603-1867), it had spread from the samurai to the common people, leading to the culture of carp streamers and warrior dolls. In modern times, it has taken root as an important event for boys, with its original meaning as a celebration to ward off bad luck and pray for good health.
Tatsumura Bijutsu Orimono offers a variety of May dolls and patterns suitable for to convey such feelings. Please take this opportunity to select from a wide variety of well-designed patterns for warding off evil spirits, including traditional scale patterns.

The image of Miffy playing in a tent in the garden is combined with a scale pattern similar in shape to a tent from among traditional Japanese patterns. The continuous triangles resemble the scales of a fish or dragon, and are called "scaly pattern" because they are meant to ward off evil spirits and misfortune.
The layering of triangles of different colors and sizes gives depth to the textile, and the series of triangles reminds one of greenery and trees in a garden.
The design is light and playful, combining Japanese patterns with Miffy's fun day of walking and eating in a tent on a sunny day.
