PATTERN DICTIONARY - SAYAGATA

SAYAGATA

"Sayagata (紗綾形) is a traditional Japanese good fortune pattern known as Kissho Monyo. This pattern has been in use since the 1500s. Sayagata derives its name from 'Saya,' a type of smooth-surfaced silk fabric on which it was commonly used.

Historically, Sayagata adorned the white collars of kimonos worn by high-ranking samurai and served as a standard design for ceremonial attire during celebratory occasions.

The Sayagata pattern is a geometric design formed by the continuous connection of the diagonally distorted Chinese character 'manji,' which symbolises good fortune and the bringing of tens of thousands of luck.

The intricate and beautiful pattern signifies 'uninterrupted and long-lasting' blessings. Sayagata embodies wishes for family prosperity and longevity."
