KIKKO "Tortoise Shell" Vest
Color/ Khaki Care Instruction
Japanese name/ <亀甲> (Kikko)
-About-
Hexagonal geometric patterns are used all over the world, but in Japan they are called "Kikko" (tortoise shell) because they resemble a tortoise shell , and are considered auspicious patterns of longevity. Auspicious patterns such as chrysanthemums and plum blossoms are drawn inside the tortoise shell, but this has been seen since the Heian period, and is a Japanese style that replaced the Chinese-style tortoise shell with familiar chrysanthemums and plum blossoms.
Tortoise shell patterns are often used in a continuous pattern, top, bottom, left and right, rather than used alone. Tortoise shell patterns are still popular today for their clean composition, and are popular as traditional auspicious patterns and are widely used.
The connecting patterns also represent endless prosperity and longevity.
