What are the classic kimono patterns? <\/span><\/h2>\n
First, let’s take a look at the outline of “classical patterns” in kimono.<\/p>\n
Classical patterns are traditional patterns<\/span><\/h3>\n
Classical patterns have various definitions depending on the kimono shop.
\nThe general common feature is that they are “patterns that have been passed down in Japan since ancient times.”
\n
\nThere are many classic patterns that are auspicious and formal.
\nTherefore, in modern times, classic patterns are consciously incorporated into furisode for coming-of-age ceremonies, and kimono for weddings and parties.<\/p>\nFamous for its auspicious and lucky patterns<\/span><\/h3>\n
The most famous genres of classical patterns are the “Kissho pattern” and the “Yusoku pattern.”
\n
\nThe word “kissho” in the auspicious pattern has the meanings of “auspicious things”, “good beginnings”, and “good omens”.
\nAs the name suggests, there are many patterns that give a good impression with their gorgeous patterns and wide ends.
\n
\nThe word “Yushoku” in Yusho pattern is derived from the intellectuals who were involved in the events and ceremonies of the imperial court during the Heian period. At that time, the elegant and dignified patterns introduced from China were used as ornaments for people of high rank.
\nTherefore, we have a wide range of patterns that give an exotic and elegant impression.
\n
\nAuspicious patterns and volunteer patterns cannot necessarily be classified into two categories. The elegant auspicious pattern introduced from China can be called an auspicious pattern or a lucky pattern.
\n(In this article, we will categorize and introduce typical patterns to make it easier to understand.)<\/p>\nDifference between classic pattern and retro pattern<\/span><\/h2>\n
Classic patterns and retro patterns are often confused, but there are some differences.
\nBriefly, they can be classified as follows.
\n
\nFlashy color: classic patternRetro pattern
\nDepth of history: Classic pattern > Retro pattern
\n
\nClassical patterns are characterized by historical, delicate patterns and colors that form the basis of many kimono cultures.
\nThe retro pattern features a large pattern using bright colors such as pink-red and light green, so that it can be worn gorgeously even at modern-day Shichi-Go-San festivals and coming-of-age ceremonies. Many retro patterns are based on classic patterns, so you can refer to the classic patterns for the meaning of the patterns.
\n
\nEven if you want to wear the same “red kimono” and “green kimono,” the impression will be completely different depending on whether you wear a classic pattern or a retro pattern.
\nBe sure to choose the appropriate pattern depending on your preferences and occasion.<\/p>\nTypes of classical kimono patterns and their meanings [Auspicious patterns]<\/span><\/h2>\n
We have compiled a list of typical auspicious patterns among the classic patterns.
\n(Review: Auspicious patterns are a general term for patterns that are imbued with auspicious meanings.)<\/p>\nShochikubai<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nThe crane is known as a symbol of longevity.

\nThe crane has a beautiful shape and gives us a feeling of good omens. There are also a wide variety of arranged patterns, such as “orizuru”, “matsukuizuru”, and “crane and turtle”.<\/p>\nPhoenix<\/span><\/h3>\n
![\"Phoenix\"](\"https:\/\/www.wapluskyoto.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pixta_44152612_M.jpg\")
\nThe phoenix is said to be a legendary bird that is a combination of a chicken, a peacock, and a snake.
\nAlthough it is an imaginary bird, it is also an auspicious bird that portends auspicious events.
\n
\nIt is a luxurious pattern that has a high level of formality and is often used at weddings.<\/p>\nExhaust the treasure<\/span><\/h3>\n
![\"Treasure\"](\"https:\/\/www.wapluskyoto.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pixta_59969707_M.jpg\")
\nAs the name suggests, the pattern is full of auspicious treasures.
\nSpecifically, they include a hammered gavel, a treasure bag, a choji, a mino, a key, and a scroll.
\nA cover has the meaning of “hiding from disaster,” and a key has the meaning of “storehouse of wealth” and “increasing financial luck.”
\n
\nEach pattern is often small and casually drawn. When your obi or kimono has a treasure hunt, you’ll feel like you’re on a treasure hunt.<\/p>\nTypes of classical kimono patterns and their meanings [Yushoku patterns]<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are many classic patterns that depict nature. Introducing some typical patterns.<\/p>\n
Qinghai wave<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nSeigaiha is a pattern that is said to have originated in ancient Persia.

![\"Yukirin\"](\"https:\/\/www.wapluskyoto.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pixta_66254796_M.jpg\")
\nA snow ring is a hexagonal snowflake pattern with a rounded shape.
\nIt is associated with melting snow, so it conveys the message of a bountiful harvest.
\nSnow ring patterns are also sometimes incorporated to help cool people down during the hot summer months.<\/p>\nWhen wearing a kimono with a classic pattern, pay attention to the seasonality<\/span><\/h2>\n
Classical patterns have colorful patterns that arouse imagination and curiosity.
\nHowever, not all patterns can be used at all times. Be sure to choose classic patterns that match the season or event.<\/p>\nPattern to choose season and timing<\/span><\/h3>\n
The basics of kimono, just like clothes, are “adori fashion”.
\nPatterns and kimonos that are made a little earlier than the season are OK, but patterns and kimonos that are made a little later than the season are not considered appropriate.
\n
\nParticular attention should be paid to patterns with flowers drawn on them.
\nFor example, cherry blossom and wisteria patterns are classics for spring. No matter how nice a kimono is, it is best to refrain from wearing it in the fall.
\nIn summer, there are hydrangeas and bellflowers. Autumn is chrysanthemums and autumn leaves. In winter, there are pine and plum trees.<\/p>\nA pattern for all seasons<\/span><\/h3>\n
Some classic patterns can be used throughout the year.
\nIn particular, there are many animal and tool designs that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
\nFor example, you can say that there is a high degree of freedom in playing treasures, fans, cranes and turtles, and phoenixes.
\n
\nHowever, the materials of kimono, such as the lining and thin fabrics, are seasonal, so please choose your kimono carefully.<\/p>\nIf you want to rent a kimono in Kyoto, please come to “Waplus Kyoto”<\/span><\/h2>\n
