Also tsumegawara ’άŠ’. A row of narrow tile pieces cut crosswise from semi-cylindrical tiles *marugawara ŠΫŠ’, and arranged to form decorative bands of intersecting semi-circles or full circles on a built-up ridge *kumimune ‘g“. A great variety of patterns can be formed by placing the tiles right side up and upside-down in layers so that they overlap. This type of pattern was first used toward the end of the 16c and was most popular from the 17c-19c.
