The "Minsa weave" is a traditional Okinawa fabric with a characteristic [5-pattern image] [4-pattern-image] checked patterns.

The meaning of these checked patterns hide behind a wordplay in Japanese: The reading 'itsu' for five also means "when" or "whatever", as the reading 'yo' for four means "age" or "time". 

The two patterns combined then carry the meaning "Forever through whatever age and time."
