Tsuchiguruma-mon (hammer-wheel pattern) is a pattern based on a waterwheel with dippers attached. The dippers look something like hammers. Hence, this design came to be called tsuchiguruma, from tsuchi (hammer) and kuruma (wheel). This design was combined with a wave pattern to create this original chiyogami. There are blue, green, and purple versions available for download.
