The “Asanoha” (麻の葉) pattern is one of the most recognizable traditional Japanese designs. Its motif, inspired by the shape of hemp leaves, symbolizes growth, strength, and protection. Historically, it was used in textiles for kimonos and everyday items, especially children’s clothing, to wish them health.
Today, the Asanoha pattern is popular not only in Japan but worldwide, preserving a strong connection to tradition.
