Notes From the Designer:

In addition to being a music nerd, I'm also an anime nerd. I like anime with strong female characters, and one of my favorite series that's packed with strong women is Saiunkoku Monogatari, or The Story of Saiunkoku. I'm naming several of my patterns after the women of Saiunkoku right now, and this piece is named after Kocho, who (among other things) is a smart and clever businesswoman who has successfully navigated a male-dominated society to become one of the most powerful business owners in the capital city. She's feminine and fierce, and doesn't allow either to be a detriment to the other. I love the two colors used in this piece because I think they perfectly represent her feminine public side and her mysterious hidden side that few are allowed to see.
