What does the diamond pattern on this piece mean?

Matsukawabishi (松皮菱)

The diamond pattern represents longevity, resilience and enduring strength.

Formed from a repeating grid of nested diamond shapes, the pattern echoes the rugged, layered bark of the pine, one of Japan's most auspicious trees, evergreen through every season.

Hishi (a diamond or rhombus shape) has been woven into Japanese silks for centuries, often appearing on formal and ceremonial garments as a symbol of strength and long life.

Mid Showa period Japanese textile era, c.1950s–1960s, featured in Kimono Living vintage silk pieces

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.
