All my work is packed with symbolism, whether it be hidden or in a more obvious form.
Here is one that you will find in my art.
| ASANOHA |
• The Asanoha pattern is one of the most popular traditional patterns often seen on Japanese kimono. Asanoha means: Asa = hemp: no = of: ha = leaf. The regular geometric pattern, though abstract, represents overlapping hemp leaves.
• Hemp grows straight and fast, up to the sky. And thus can represent good health, vigor, resistance or resilience, and then, by extension prosperity.
• In Japan, this pattern was often used on babies' and children's kimonos with the hope that they would grow up big and strong.
