Spring finally feels like it&#8217;s within reach after this miserable winter. Something about the change in the air has got my creative juices flowing. I got the idea for this pattern while stuck at work earlier this week and spent my day off getting it out of my system. I was inspired by the iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/louis-vuitton-monogram-bags-history\">Louis Vuitton monogram motif<\/a> in both the traditional brown colourway and the neon colours, combined with simplistic kamon-based representations of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.immortalgeisha.com\/wiki\/index.php?title=Takarazukushi\">Takarazukushi<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(\u5b9d\u5c3d\u304f\u3057, mixed treasures).<\/p>\n<p>Typically the combined motif has seven of these treasures, and which seven varies from representation to representation, but I couldn&#8217;t decide which ones I like best so I drew them all. It was a challenge, but a fun one. They are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>nyoih\u014dju (jewel of one&#8217;s wishes)<\/li>\n<li>kakuremino (cloak of invisibility)<\/li>\n<li>kakuregasa (hat of invisibility)<\/li>\n<li>ch\u014dji \uff08clove)<\/li>\n<li>uchide no kodzuchi (fortune-bringing small mallet)<\/li>\n<li>h\u014dyaku (treasure key)<\/li>\n<li>kinn\u014d (money bag)<\/li>\n<li>makimono (scrolls)<\/li>\n<li>fund\u014d (counterweight)<\/li>\n<li>gunhai (war fan)<\/li>\n<li>shipp\u014d (seven precious gems)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See if you can figure out which one is which! The three triangles that look like the Triforce from Legend of Zelda is <em>uroko<\/em> (\u9c57 fish scales motif), often paired with takara. I wanted something a little simpler and more neutral for the smaller repeat, and think this worked out great.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to download these patterns and use them as wallpapers (right-click and &#8220;<em>Open as new window<\/em>&#8221; to get the large version), phone lock screens, or whatever other personal use tickles your fancy. They&#8217;re seamless so they&#8217;ll repeat very smoothly. Just please don&#8217;t use them on things you plan to sell.<\/p>\n<p>These patterns are available on all sorts of cool products over in my <a href=\"https:\/\/society6.com\/kimonotsuki\/s?q=new\">Society6 shop,<\/a> along with prints of some of my other kimono-adjacent artwork. Please do check them out, it helps the blog out enormously when people buy things from there!<\/p>\n<div class=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container ays-arp-elegant-layout \" id=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container-10013-6af661b1225b7\"  data-id=\"6af661b1225b7\" data-ratio=\"0.75\"><h2 class=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container-title\">Related Posts<\/h2><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ays-arp-id-6af661b1225b7\" value=\"10013\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-posts\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-header\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-img-row\"><a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2026\/04\/a-work-of-art\/\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-link\"  ><img src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/work_of_art_small-100x100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-img\"><img src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/work_of_art_small-100x100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-img ays-arp-under-post-img-mobile\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-content\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-title-row\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2026\/04\/a-work-of-art\/\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-link\"  >A Work of Art<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-excerpt-row\"><span class=\"ays-arp-under-post-excerpt\">Some months back, someone on Reddit posted about an amazing...<\/span><\/div><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-read-more-row\"><a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2026\/04\/a-work-of-art\/\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-link\"  ><span class=\"ays-arp-under-post-read-more\">Read more<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-header\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-img-row\"><a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2026\/03\/kokeshi-picrew-for-hinamatsuri\/\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-link\"  ><img src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2830108_kyeOnClj-100x100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-img\"><img src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2830108_kyeOnClj-100x100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-img ays-arp-under-post-img-mobile\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-content\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-title-row\"><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2026\/03\/kokeshi-picrew-for-hinamatsuri\/\" class=\"ays-arp-under-post-link\"  >Kokeshi Picrew for Hinamatsuri!<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ays-arp-under-post-excerpt-row\"><span class=\"ays-arp-under-post-excerpt\">Today is Hinamatsuri!
