In Japan, patterns featuring rows of lines—known as “shima”—first appeared around the 16th-century Muromachi period. By the Edo period, they had become a pattern used by people of all ages and social classes. Why did they become so popular? In this special feature, we introduce Japanese stripes, including those found on antique textiles such as “chanoma-do,” stripes from various regions created during the Edo period, and stripes seen on ceramics. * Publisher Inquiry [MENOME] mail to: info@menomeonline.com
