【The beauty of Koushi, timeless style】
A Koushi pattern is made by combining the intersections of vertical and horizontal lines. Because of its extremely simple composition, it is a pattern that is loved not only in Japan but all over the world. There are a huge variety of patterns, with different numbers, thicknesses, colors, and widths of vertical and horizontal lines. It became popular in Japan during the Edo period as a costume worn by Kabuki actors. Thick, large patterns express dignity, while thin, delicate patterns express elegance and sophistication, and common people seemed to enjoy wearing them according to their mood of the day. People entrusted their hopes for a prosperous future to the Koushi pattern, with its endless overlapping intersections.
