If you know please reach out ^^)Katako mochi jima (I know this one under the name “parent and child stripes”) 片子待縞 : stripe motif pairing a thick line with a thiner one Yatara jima (Random stripes) 矢鱈縞 : motif pairing “randomely” spaced stripes and/or stripes of many different colorsSoroban jima (Abacus stripes) 算盤縞 : stripes with diamond shapes (representing sorobandama/abacus beads)Taki jima (Waterfall stripes) 滝縞 : mixed stripes motif were thick lines gradually gets thiner, like falling waterAll of those patterns were considered super fashionable during Edo era, and are still heavily featured in modern kimono fashion.
