Shippo
Interlocking circles on a square grid — the Japanese 'seven treasures' motif, each circle overlapping its neighbors to their centers.
Circles laid on a square grid so each one overlaps its four neighbors at their centers. The overlaps open into a lattice of pointed-oval petals and small four-pointed stars, and the circles themselves recede — what reads is the linked field, not any single ring.
The figure is shippō — “seven treasures” — a staple of Japanese kimono, sashiko, and textile design, read there as connection and continuing good fortune. It is a square-grid lattice, not the hexagonal flower of the crystal-shop trade; the structure underneath is a grid of overlapping circles, endlessly linking.
At architectural scale the linked circles carry a screen, a tiled floor, a woven cloth. At jewelry scale one square of the field, cut from sheet metal, holds the overlap and the lattice in a single piece.
The same patience that fills a pendant fills a panel.
