千鳥襷文

文様では、群れて飛ぶ多くの小鳥のことを千鳥と言います。「千鳥=千取り」のごろ合わせから、目標達成や豊かさの願いがこめられた縁起のいい文様です。限りなく単純意匠化された千鳥を襷状に構成したデザイン性の高い文様です。

Chidoritasuki-mon (Plover Cross)

Many of the small birds flying in flocks in patterns are known as plovers ― “Chidori” in Japanese. This pattern makes use of a play on words in which the word “Chidori” can also be used to symbolize achievement and wealth. It is a simple design of plovers limitlessly flying in a cross pattern.
