Japanese name/ 御所車 (Goshoguruma)
-About-
The ox-drawn carriages used by aristocrats during court ceremonies from the Heian to Kamakura periods are called Goshoguruma. Their graceful form is a classic dynastic motif, often arranged among flowers of the four seasons to express elegance and luxury.
Japan’s rich natural environment and clear seasonal changes inspired people to seek protection through nature’s beauty. Flowers and plants were believed to hold protective power, leading to the development of plant-based dyeing techniques. Kyoto, blessed with pure water, became especially renowned for producing beautifully dyed silk fabrics.
The colors used in this Imperial carriage pattern are based on traditional Japanese aesthetics. Five key colors—purple, red, indigo, green, and brown—are combined with yellow, white, and black. Decorating garments with these colors symbolizes harmony, balance, seasonal cycles, and protection in all directions, expressing a wish for peace and prosperity.
From the floral designs of the four seasons to its carefully chosen colors, the Goshoguruma pattern carries a deeply auspicious meaning.
