Hello,

 

Just a simple question about this design, like a heart, in kage-sukashi : is there a word to designate it ? 

 

All my apologize for the bad pictures,

 

Thanks !

Best regards

 

Hugues

some additional info :

 

"Un des motifs les plus anciens (époque Heian). Il représenterait un banc de sable s'avançant dans la mer ou une île triangulaire (vus de haut). Cette forme originale qui évoque également une montagne mythique de Chine (mont Hôrai), fut utilisée à partir de l'époque de Heian dans un but uniquement décoratif lors de célébrations diverses. Symbole de longévité et de bon augure."
