Even stripes run top to bottom; Miyai calls these the typical tate-dori design. In diagonal wraps they slant, in a watermelon wrap they sit level or upright.

Late Edo period fashion

Vertical stripes (tate-jima) became the fashion in the late Edo period, spreading from men's hakama to townspeople's kosode, with named varieties such as sensuji ('thousand lines'), komochi-jima and taki-jima. Imported striped silks and cottons (kandō, tōzan) strongly influenced them. Unlike horizontal stripes, they must be planned in the warp before weaving starts.
