規則的に並ぶ「吉原つなぎ」柄の魅力とは?
Yoshiwara Tsunagi is characterized by its regularly-spaced chain-like pattern. It is also known as Kuruwa Tsunagi. It is a pattern in which smaller squares are placed inside squares, which are then connected and arranged continuously to form a chain-like pattern. It is an attractive pattern that represents Edo and is still commonly used today on tenugui, noren curtains, yukata, happi coats and hanten coats. Its official name is Komochi Yoshiwara. Yoshiwara Tsunagi comes in a variety of sizes and designs, so it might be fun to find one that suits your taste.

It comes from the name of Yoshiwara, the largest red-light district in the Edo period. This "Yoshiwara Tsunagi" was depicted on the noren curtains of teahouses. It is said that the name comes from the fact that once you enter the Yoshiwara red-light district, you are chained up and it is difficult to get out. It has a slightly murky impression. Men may or may not feel that this applies to you. Everyone should be careful not to get tied down by anything.
