What does the hexagon pattern on this piece mean?

Kikkou (亀甲)

The hexagon pattern represents longevity, good fortune and protection.

Inspired by the shell of the tortoise, one of Japan's most sacred animals and believed to live ten thousand years.

An ancient motif, kikkou can also be found on Samurai armour designs.

Mid-Shōwa Period

The Shōwa era spanned 1926 to 1989, its name meaning 'enlightened peace' — a period of extraordinary contrast, from wartime turbulence to postwar renaissance. Many of our textiles date from the heart of this era.
