What does the Wild Wave symbol on this piece mean?

Araumi (荒海)

The wild wave symbol represents resilience, movement and the powerful forces of nature.

Rendered as crashing surf and sweeping currents, Araumi brings energy and drama to Japanese textile design, evoking stormy seas, shifting tides and enduring strength.

Long associated with perseverance and the unpredictability of the natural world, wave motifs reflect Japan’s deep relationship with the ocean.
