麻の葉 ― あさのは ―
六角形を基本に、麻の葉の形を幾何学的に表した「麻の葉文様」。
日本では古くから親しまれてきた伝統文様のひとつです。
麻は、まっすぐ丈夫に成長し、生命力の強い植物。
そのことから麻の葉文様には、健やかな成長や生命力、魔除け・厄除けなどの願いが込められてきました。
特に、成長の早い麻にあやかり、
子どもの健やかな成長を願う文様として、着物や産着などにも用いられてきました。
シンプルな六角形の中に、
まっすぐ伸びる麻の葉の姿を感じさせる美しい幾何学模様。
時代を超えて受け継がれてきた、
日本の美しい文様のひとつです。

Asanoha — H**p Leaf Pattern
Asanoha is a traditional Japanese pattern inspired by the shape of h**p leaves, expressed through geometric forms based on hexagons.
It has been loved in Japan for centuries as one of the country’s traditional patterns.
H**p is a plant known for its rapid growth, strength, and vitality.
For this reason, the Asanoha pattern has traditionally been associated with healthy growth, vitality, and protection from evil.
Because h**p grows quickly and straight, the pattern has especially been used in kimono and children’s garments as a symbol of wishing for a child’s healthy and strong growth.
Within its simple geometric form, you can see the image of h**p leaves growing straight and strong.
A beautiful Japanese pattern that has been passed down through generations.
Asanoha carries a timeless wish:
May we grow healthy, strong, and straight.
