The zigzag geometrical pattern seen here is called the “mountain path” design due to its similarity to a real mountain path. Popular during the Momoyama Period, the pattern was often used in combination with paulownia or chrysanthemum motifs. The same motifs were used in Chinese-style silk brocades and Noh costumes also made during the era.
