The pattern on this clutch bag is a traditional Japanese geometric design known as Kōjitsunagi or an interlocking lattice pattern.
This pattern features repeated, interlocking geometric shapes, resembling a lattice or a maze of diamond shapes, often incorporating small motifs within the diamonds.
Symbolism: The interlocking nature, which appears to stretch into infinity, is associated with good fortune and continuity in Japanese culture.
Usage: Such traditional patterns are commonly found on various items, including kimono fabric, ceramics, kumiko furniture and accessories like in this handbag.

*Kumiko is a traditional craft with a history of over 400 years in Japan. Kumiko has been developed with the shoji screen of Japanese houses. The feature of Kumiko is the silhouette of beautiful geometric patterns made of wood and paper. See less
