Butterfly Designs in the Edo Period

Focusing onKosode Moyo Hinagatabon

Kumiko SHIMIZUEri HIROSE

Abstract :   This paper looks at the  Kosode Moyo Hinagatabon   published during the Edo Period, and dis-

cusses the characteristics and changes of butterfly patterns drawn on   kosode.   The appearance of butterfly

patterns peaked in the late 1680s and early 1700s, and later increased slightly to its highest number in

1800. Depictions of butterfly patterns can be generally divided into   ageha chou   and   fuse chou,   with fur-

ther changes visible in the detail of the shapes, showing variety. There were also allegorical patterns that

combined with other patterns to symbolize a sense of season, drawing from literature of that time. In sum,

it appears that there is much commonality among popular designs of  kosode  patterns.
