I ran across the yagasuri tag the other day and I've been wondering if there are tags for other traditional Japanese patterns.

For example, the one that looks like stylized waves (post #1002105 under the bridge) and the honeycomb one (post #963178) - there is a honeycomb tag but it only has a couple images.

The wave pattern is called seigaiha (青海波).

Now for the extra credit: how to tag the cart pattern from Yuyuko's fan? (as seen in post #5279 and lots and lots of others)

yuyuko's_fan_design.

Started it a month ago, and unfortunately had to postpone the searching for a later time.
There are surely a lot more out there, including under yakumo_yukari fan -saigyouji_yuyuko.

On a relevant subject, is there a proper term for these horizontally-stretched clouds?
post #570179, post #872629, post #492513
I got about 20 posts, and couldn't find how they are called for a long time.
I'm not quite content with japanese_clouds - although it's intuitive, and can cover other cloud designs seen in traditional art, it has potential of turning into a large misused tag, where finding these peculiar type of clouds could get inconvenient.

Egasumi (ヱ霞).

Thank you!

Two more, both on post #1003886 - the star pattern in the yellow and the diagonal line pattern on the mountain.

edited to add: the star pattern is also seen on post #748187 and the entire "Original - Summary of Japanese Fairies (akihiyo)" pool.

In terms of patterns, again in post #1003886, is that vertical arrangement of jumping koi silhouettes named? I swear I've seen it in a number of places....

The star pattern is asa no ha (麻の葉, literally "hemp leaves"). There's already an artist by that name though. EDIT: I've started asa no ha (pattern).

The pattern on the mountain is sayagata (紗綾形). If you look closely it's actually a bunch of swastikas with the ends joined together, so maybe sayagata should implicate that.

The jumping koi are an example of koi no takinobori (鯉の滝登り).

It's pretty hard to see the swastikas in the pattern and I don't think post #1003886 is really what someone searching swastika would be looking for, so I think implicating it to swastika is questionable.

For the honeycomb pattern, I found kikkō (亀甲), bekkōgata (鼈甲形), tortoise shell, hexagon, and honeycomb. What should the tag name be?

This is a bit off topic, but what is the term for partial silhouettes such as the ones in post #992518, post #1005116, and post #951803 ?

i'm unaware of the proper term for all the japanese traditional patterns but i've added them in Tag Group:Image Composition for the benefit of other taggers.

in case i missed something or made a mistake, please do correct me. thanks.

No you did well.
