Basket Weave (Kagome)

0 images

Kagome is a traditional Japanese pattern modeled after the woven structure of bamboo baskets. The kanji for "kago" (basket) combines bamboo and dragon radicals, symbolizing a mystical force with a sealed dragon that wards off evil. Deeply embedded in culture, such as through the famous "Kagome kagome" nursery rhyme, it serves as a protective, auspicious motif.
