| Lit. cloud design. A broad classification of the various designs used to represent clouds. It is known throughout Asia, and after water designs forms the most frequently employed design. It entered Japan through China in the Nara period, when the design was characterized by long trailing tails, known as the tenpyoumon V½Ά. It was often combined with designs of good fortune *kisshoumon gΛΆ, such as the phoenix *houou P, *kirin κiΩ, or dragon *ryuu ΄. In the Heian period many types pf unmon belonging to the category of ancient court designs known as *yuusoku mon'you LEΆl were developed, including "boiling clouds" kumotatewaki _§N, "moving clouds" unkyorai _, and "auspicious clouds"zuiun _, "rain clouds" amegumo J_, and "ascending clouds" noborigumo γ_. From the middle ages the misumon δϊΆ was used in the applied arts and picture scrolls *emaki Gͺ to obscure portions of a depicted landscape or building, thus lending the scene a distinct atmosphere. Later, more complicated reishiun μΕ_ were introduced to Japan as Chinese textiles. In the Edo period , pictures or patterns were sometimes divided into cloud-shaped areas arranged upon a larger picture. This practice was known as kumotori _ζ or kasumitori ΰζ and was used especially for dyed fabrics. | |||||||||
