「鱗文に鷹の羽」

鱗文に鷹の羽

その勇猛さから古の武人たちに好まれた鷹。強く、形も良い羽根は、矢羽根にも使われ、羽根の形を意匠化した「鷹の羽」の文様も生まれました。また、三角形が上下左右に連続で並んだ文様は「鱗文」と呼ばれ、厄除けや魔除けの意味が込められています。

Uroko-mon ni Taka-no-ha (Scales with Hawk Feathers)

The hawk was favored by warriors in ancient times for its bravery. The hawk’s feathers, which are strong and have a good shape, were also used for arrow feathers, and the design of “hawk feathers” was created based on the shape of the feathers. The pattern of triangles lined up in a row on the top, bottom, left, and right is called the “scale pattern,” which has the meaning of warding off evil and evil spirits.
