“Kanoko” means “fawn”. This pattern is similar to spots on a fawn’s back and the name was derived from it.
This is one of the most popular pattern among the Japanese design.

Hi! I’m an enthusiastic Kimono consultant, the manager of Project Japan. Beyond work, I love kimonos, relaxing in onsens, exploring music, and traveling. When it comes to food, I have a soft spot for traditional Japanese cuisine and enjoy Japanese sake, wine, whiskey, and coffee.
As a web and video producer, I keep up with the latest in tech.
