Autumn Flowers
"Akikusa-monyo" is a pattern made by mixing wild flowers that grow wild in autumn fields. The appearance of the autumn grasses blooming close to each other is elegant, and it is a pattern unique to Japan that makes you feel the transience of time and the impermanence of life.
Hagi, which is drawn along with chrysanthemum, which is representative of autumn in Japan, is a leguminous plant and has long been one of the seven autumn herbs. In Manyoshu (the oldest anthology of poems), it has the largest number of poems about plants. It has many small triads of leaves and blooms in autumn with reddish-purple or white butterfly-shaped flowers. Because of its many flowers, it was considered a lucky charm for prosperity, and was planted in the gardens of aristocratic mansions.
What you can see in the left center is a kind of ground paper pattern of fan crest. Originating in hot and humid Japan, fan spreading out like an open fan so it is considered a good omen of prosperity and good luck. Fans were also used as tools with the power to awaken divine spirits and shake the spirits of things. The paper pasted on the fan is called “jigami”. This beautiful shape has long been used as a pattern for Noh costumes and kosode.
Paulownia can also be seen in the shape of the base paper, creating an even more festive atmosphere. Paulownia is revered as the tree inhabited by the imaginary bird, the phoenix, and has been used for the emperor's robe since the Middle Ages. It is a design of a noble image.
