Housouge is an imaginary flower pattern.
It is said that it was made by combining only the beautiful parts of large flowers such as peony, peony, and hibiscus. Originally thought to have originated from the Persian sensibility of the west, it is a mysterious flower pattern that has been arranged one after another when it arrived in Japan from China and over time. Due to the characteristics of the realistic modeling of the Tang Dynasty, the expression as if it were a real flower was completed.
Housouge means "brilliant flower pattern" and is also used for decoration in Buddhism.
Housouge is one of the representative motifs of Shosoin patterns. Shosoin was built in the Nara period and is a large storehouse (storehouse of the imperial court) of Todaiji Temple. Many items related to Emperor Shomu are preserved inside. A lot of things were brought from West Asia (Sassanid Persia) and China, and it is characterized by being full of international colors.
The Shosoin Treasures alone amount to more than 100,000 pieces of dyed fabrics, and these are generally called “Shosoin Gire”. Shosoin patterns include those made into patterns of treasures such as musical instruments and furnishings stored in the Shosoin, and Horyuji textiles.
In other words, the name Shosoin pattern is widely used as a generic term for patterns influenced by the western region and China seen in the Nara period.
It is mostly used for obi, but it can also be seen in tomesode and visiting clothes because of the high degree of formality of the pattern.
