Scales pattern generator
Overlapping arcs in rows, the fish scale or roof tile pattern. Endlessly satisfying to fill in one scale at a time.
What is the Seigaiha wave pattern?
Seigaiha, which means blue sea wave, is a traditional Japanese pattern of overlapping arcs arranged like fish scales or roof tiles to stand for calm water. It has decorated kimono, paper, and pottery in Japan for well over a thousand years.
How to use the Scales generator
Fill one scale at a time and the rows turn meditative fast. It looks lovely in an ocean palette.
It is free to generate, tweak, print, and download as many Scales pages as you like. Every roll gives you a new one, and you can save the ones you love to come back to.
Great for: meditative coloring, Japanese wave art.
