"The diamonds surrounded by four slanted lines are called slanted lattices or ""tasuki"" patterns when they are continuous. There is also a theory that the shape of the aquatic plant that grows wild in ponds and marshes is transformed into a pattern, and it is known that it has been used as a pattern since ancient times, such as being engraved on earthenware in the Jomon period.
Hishi-monyo flourished during the Heian period when it was used as a costume for court nobles as Yusoku-monyo (traditional patterns used for costumes, furnishings, carriages, and architecture in the society of court nobles after the Heian period). Since then, it has been used as a representative of geometric patterns in the design of textiles and crafts.It can be seen in the ""Genji Monogatari Emaki(a picture scroll depicting the subject matter of the tale of genji )"" and other picture scrolls that various variations were created and that it was actively used. It has been expressed in various ways to this day.Hanabishi is a diamond-shaped pattern with four petals inside. In the Heian period, only a few people were allowed to use it as a Yusoku pattern, so it has the meaning of nobility and elegance.
Karahana does not refer to a specific flower, but to a Chinese-style imaginary flower shaped like a peony. It was already used in the Nara period, and can be seen in the chests and mirror boxes of Shosoin. Loved by the upper class, it is believed that it eventually developed into a family crest."
