Edo era beloved plaid patterns, yet another handy reference chart by @nadeshicorin, showing from left to right top to bottom:
Misogoshi kôshi (Miso strainer lattice) 味噌濾し格子 : heavy grid with thiner lines arranged at equal intervals, named after the fabric used to strain miso (akin to cheese cloth)
Benkei jima (Benkei stripes/plaid) 弁慶縞 : grid formed by thick lines getting darker at intersections, named after famous warrior monk Benkei
Kogôshi (Small lattice) 小格子 : simple plaid with thin lines
Ôgôshi (Big lattice) 大格子 : simple plaid with thick lines (if super thick, may look like squares over plain background)
Dôji gôshi (Child lattice) 童子格子: plaid pattern with thick grid paired with a thiner one just behind (= like a child beside their parent)
Okina gôshi (Old man lattice) 翁格子: plaid pattern with thick grid paired with many thiner ones just behind (= like many children beside their old parent/grand parent)
San kuzushi (Broken three) 三崩し: group of three lines arranged vertically against horizontally (form a pattern looking a bit like a woven basket)
Hito kuzushi (Broken one) 一崩し: single line arranged vertically against horizontally (form a pattern looking a bit like a woven grid)
All of those patterns were considered super fashionable during Edo era, and are still heavily featured in modern kimono fashion :)
