Arisugawa Nishiki (Arisugawa Brocade)

Arisugawa no Miya, a noble family that existed from the early Edo period (1603–1867) to the Taisho period (1912–1926), is the origin of the name Arisugawa Nishiki. The word "Nishiki" (two colors) comes from weaving patterns using two or more different colored threads, with the mark of a deer being particularly famous.
