Japanese Traditional Pattern "ASA NO HA MOYOU"

I wanted to create modern versions of Japanese traditional patterns. Even I am Japanese, I didn't know about the meaning of these patterns so wanted to share with you guys :)

“ASA NO HA MOYOU” is one of the Japanese unique patterns. A geometric pattern based on a regular hexagon.

The origin of the name was literally associated with the shape of the leaf of "hemp." Since hemp is strong and grow straight up, there was a custom that they used a baby wear with this pattern especially for a new born baby.
