| Also written αKΆ. Also arare θΕ, ichimatsu
mon'you sΌΆl or *ichimatatsu sΌ. A checkerboard pattern named for its resemblance to paving stones ishidatami Ξτ. A type of traditional design based on Heian court decoration;
*yuusoku mon'you
LEΆl. The pattern can be found on the clothing of haniwa ϋΦ figurines (mid-4c
to early 7c), and on dyed textiles from the *Shousouin ³q@. In the 9c, Heian courtiers
alternatively called a small checkerboard pattern 'arare', a term meaning
hail or small rice-cake cubes. The ishidatami pattern continued to
be popular, and was favored by both aristocrats and warriors. Widely used in the
middle ages on clothing, in particular, 15-16c *nou
\ costumes, lacquer ware, as well as architectural decoration in the Edo period.
In the 17c, the pattern became fashionable among urban people, and it's use increased
further in the 18c after its use by the extremely popular *kabuki
Μκ actor, Sanokawa Ichimatsu ²μμsΌ (1722-62). The motif came to be associated
with the Ichimatsu actor family and is still sometimes called ichimatsu
mon'you. A variety of fabric designs that run motifs over a checkerboard pattern
ground also became popular in the Edo period. |
