Sha is a simple twisted weave created by interlacing two warp threads with each weft thread, resulting in a more sheer fabric than Ro (a type of gauze). It is one of the summer fabrics that can be worn for a wide range of occasions, from casual to semi-formal. There are patterned Mon-sha (gauze with patterns) and Tsumugi-sha (sha using tsumugi threads). The mesh pattern is a design that connects intersecting curves. It came to be called the mesh pattern because it resembles the mesh of a fisherman's net. In the Edo period, it was used in porcelain patterns, Komon (fine patterned) and Tenugui (hand towels). Patterns that depict fish, shrimp, octopus, etc., using the mesh pattern to represent an actual fishing net, were also created in the late Edo period and are still loved today by fishermen and people in fish markets as "Tai-ryo Mon" (abundant catch patterns).
