水文

水はあらゆる生命にとって不可欠なものであることから、日本では、水には神が宿り、穢れを清めるものとされてきました。その文様は、海、川、池などが、流水や波、渦巻きなどの様々な形態で表されています。古くは弥生時代の銅鐸などにも見られる、富貴繁栄や災難厄除の願いが込められた文様です。

Mizu-mon (Water)

Water is essential for all life, which is why in Japan there is a god of water, and water is thought to cleanse impurities. This patter comes in many varieties, depicting oceans, rivers, and lakes in the shape of flowing water, waves, or eddies. This pattern was seen as early as the Yayoi period when it was used in bronze vessels, and it is considered auspicious for bringing riches, and for warding off misfortune.
