Wagara Patterns – 15cm x 15cm (48s)

Japanese patterns are called “wagara” in Japanese. “Wa” means both “harmony” and “Japan” or “Japanese style”, while “gara” means “pattern.”

Each pattern is inspired by Japan’s natural beauty, including its landscapes, flora and fauna, folklore, and the seasons. Originating as early as the 8th-century Heian period, these decorative motifs were commonly featured on kimonos and ceramics, where they conveyed cultural stories, symbolism, and wishes for good fortune.
