Large rolling waves and small calm waves. The Blue Ocean Wave pattern is a pop design where large and small arches overlap like a fan.
It is a motif with great meaning for people around the world who live near the sea, not only in Japan but also in Egypt, Peru, and other places where this design can be found.
The pattern also appears in the Heian period’s "Genji Monogatari" and was popular among commoners during the Edo period.
It is loved as a good motif symbolizing abundant blessings and infinite symbols of good fortune, often given at weddings and housewarming celebrations.
