-About-

The pattern depicted here that represents the flow of water is called Kanze Mizu. It is said to have been given this name because Kanze Dayu, the head of the Kanze school of Noh theater, used it as a formal pattern.

It is also said that during the Edo period, when the Kabuki actor Sojuro Sawamura IV was still calling himself Gennosuke, he wore a Kanze water pattern in the role of ``Hadder Shop Yashichi,'' and it became popular
. The elegant water pattern expressed in curved lines is arranged diagonally here, giving it a modern feel.
