Kimono Patterns
As well as being highly decorative the patterns and motifs seen on Kimono all have meaning. Popular ones are the Seigaiha which is formed of overlapping circles these are said to be the waves of the sea. Shippo is an infinitely repeating circular design which represents the seven treasures of Buddha. Popular flowers are Wisteria, peony and chrysanthemums, though these were often reserved for the imperial family.
