Abstract
There are many traditional patterns in Japan. However, modern people are not familiar with these patterns and do not frequently use them in daily life. The purpose of this study is to make new Japanese patterns for modern Japanese people and to establish its method. Historically, traditional patterns had been developed to use the familiar things as motives. Making samples one after another, we decided to use family names as the motif of the new patterns. Seven traditional patterns were dissolved to each unit of figure in which each character of 30 well-known family names was plugged. In total, over 140 kinds of new Japanese pattern were made.
