Yatsume Goshi (Eight-eye Lattice)

1 images

The yatsume goshi pattern draws from bamboo weaving, with overlapping diagonal lattices forming continuous octagons. In feng shui, the octagon draws fortune from all eight directions while repelling evil. The number eight also represents the idea of "widening the horizon," and in Japan it has long been popular as a shape that symbolizes prosperity and happiness.
