原著論文This paper looks at the Kosode Moyo Hinagatabon published during the Edo Period, and discusses 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 further 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.
