What does the river symbol on this piece mean?

Kawa (川)

The river symbol represents continuity, renewal and the passage of time.

In Japanese art, flowing water (nagare) is one of the most enduring motifs, suggesting movement and the unstoppable forward flow of life through the turning of the year.

As an auspicious symbol, it swirls with a wish: that life, like water, will always find its way.

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.
