Is there any pattern with inspiration/relation to Konohana Sakuya?

Hi! Konohanasakuya-hime is the titular deity of Mount Fuji. She's traditionally associated with fleeting cherry blossoms because of this part of her myth:

Sakuya-hime met Ninigi on the seashore and they fell in love; Ninigi asked Ohoyamatsumi, the father of Sakuya-hime for her hand in marriage. Oho-Yama proposed his older daughter, Iwa-Naga-hime, instead, but Ninigi had his heart set on Sakuya-hime. Oho-Yama reluctantly agreed and Ninigi and Ko-no-hana married. Because Ninigi refused Iwa-Naga, the rock-princess, human lives are said to be short and fleeting, like the sakura blossoms, instead of enduring and long lasting, like stones (via wikipedia).

I have never encountered kimono or obi directly hinting at this goddess, but if you'd like to reference her, any sakura (flowers on trees or not, falling petals etc) and mountain pattern (Fujisan if possible of course ^^) would work nicely!

She's also a goddess associated with sake brewing, so sakura + sake objects (like masu or sakazuki cups for ex.) would be very cool!

If you are going a darker route, sakura + fire pattern could hint at the birth hut episode of her story - which also links her persona to volcanoes. (Note that sakura+braziers is usually a pattern association hinting at nighttime cherry blossom viewing parties)

(anyone played Okami around here? I just realized the camellia sisters could be a reference to this part of Konahana's mythos :3)

Difference between Raimon and Sayagata:

Sayagata is a pattern based on the Buddhist swastika, with minimal spiralling.

Raimon is “spiral squares” and will not have swastika shapes, no matter how it’s styled.

Standard Raimon looks similar to Greek borders:

Kimono example: 

A kind of more modern design of raimon that looks similar to sayagata, but as you can see it also does not have the swastika. 

It’s somewhat similar to a kouji-tsunagi 工字繋ぎ, but with the curly squares. Standard Kouji-tsunagi as comparison:

And this one below is raimon-tsunagi/kaminarimon-tsunagi, which is a combination of both the sayagata/swastika and raimon spirals. 

Hello! Bouncing off of that ask regarding rain patterns in kimono, I was curious if lightning is ever used as a motif in kimonos, and if so, what sort of vocabulary is used to describe it? ^^

I've read about the Inazuma pattern before, but I was wondering if there were any others I wasn't aware of, since there's so many different vocabulary terms for kimono patterns!

Thank you for your time!

It is indeed generically named inazuma 稲妻, or also kaminari 雷/raimon 雷文 :)

Lightning is mainly represented via thick lines curling at squares angles (sometimes difficult to tell apart from sayagata) or zigzag lightning bolts shapes (Pikachu's tail style). Another common representation is a bit harder to catch as it looks a lot like matsukawa (pine bark pattern).

Another thunder-adjacent concept coming to me is mitsudomoe 三つ巴 (circle made of 3 magatama/comma-shaped jewels):

This symbol is often used on percussions (like taiko 太鼓, gakudaiko 楽太鼓) which were/are still used for Shinto rituals purpose. This symbol can so symbolize the rumbling sound of thunder (which can drive evil spirits away)... hence why you find it on the dendendaiko of thunder god Raijin 雷神 or used for some oni representations.

Date Tech version! I know a shield vs. a sword would have been more accurate, but it just didn't fit the design.
