The Wave Pattern

 

The cover of Fuchsia Dunlop’s The Food of Sichuan uses the Chinese Wave Pattern.


Peppercorns in our Japanese wave-pattern bowl.
I’ll tell you about what dish we made with the peppercorns later on.

The package from the imported peppercorns also uses the wave pattern.
I assume this repetition is a coincidence, but I wonder if it means something.

Wave patterns, it appears, are often used as a sign of prosperity.

I'm intrigued to know what you made.

The Chinese wave pattern is almost hypnotic!

I always love that pattern- didn't realize it was Japanese

I was surprised how interchangeable the wave pattern is between Japanese and Chinese. It's definitely pleasing.
