Rising clouds
Motif
This motif is called “kumo-tatewaku” (雲立涌）which translates as rising clouds. It is a combination clouds (kumo) and a pair of lines moving in a wavely manner (tatewaku) resembling the steam arising. It is meant to bring good fortune as the clouds and steam rise up.
This pattern, along with other variations of the tatewaku motif, originated in China and was introduced in Japan during Heian period (794-1185). It is one of the yoshoku patterns which were designed exclusively for the nobility.
