[Fujizakura Kobo] Kikkō Mon (Tortoiseshell Crest) - Traditional Pattern - Japanese Silk Jacquard Woven Necktie

It is one of the "yusoku" patterns, used since the Heian period, and resembles a turtle's shell, a symbol of longevity.
Originally, it was born as a geometric pattern in West Asia, and was associated with turtles when it passed through China.
The desire to pray for the long life of loved ones, as expressed in the "Kimigayo" waka poem, seems to have been held by the Japanese for over a thousand years.
