    The document discusses Japanese cultural patterns and their meanings. It describes several traditional Japanese patterns such as kiku (depicting chrysanthemums and representing longevity), name/waves (symbolizing sea gods and strength), and samekomon (a dotted pattern resembling sharkskin worn for protection). The document notes that Japanese patterns often use a single color but appear more complex through repetition. They also incorporate rounded edges and symbolize real-life objects through color. The author chose to focus on Japanese culture due to its attention to detail and history of pattern development over many eras.
