Tenpyo was an era in Japan between 729 and 749 A.D. This period marked one of the most prosperous times in the Nara period, as well as the Tang Dynasty in China. Not only did many envoys from Japan arrive in China during this period, Central Asian treasures and world cultures also arrived in Japan via the Silk Road. Patterns popularized in the Tenpyō period were elegant and meticulous, often based on octagonal or diamond shapes or flowers. Hexagonal patterns also commonly appear in Tenpyo fabric patterns.
