"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染).
Bishamon kikkō 毘沙門亀甲: a surface pattern of three composite kikkō (mitsumori kikkō 三盛亀甲 = „triple“ kikkō). Since Bishamon-ten 毘沙門天, god of fortune and guardian, is often depicted in an armor with this pattern (as in Tōdaiji 東大寺, Nara), this surface pattern is commonly called bishamon kikko.
Sayagata 紗綾形: pattern of interlocking swastika (manji 万字/卍).
