Kagome (Trihexagonal)
What this grid is
A Kagome (Trihexagonal) tiling is a repeating pattern made from triangles and hexagons. It appears in Japanese craft motifs, modern geometric branding, and architectural screens. Compared to a simple hex grid, Kagome feels more intricate and slightly “woven” even when drawn as plain lines.
This generator exports the Kagome line network as clean SVG line art.
Key parameters
- Columns / Rows — Pattern extent (how many repeats you generate).
- Size (px) — Scale of the triangles/hexagons.
- Rotation (°) — Rotate the whole tiling to align with your layout.
- Line Width / Opacity / Line Color — Stroke styling.
Unique highlights
- Rich tri‑hex rhythm: more texture than a single‑shape tiling.
- Weave‑like read without needing fills.
- Distinctive “premium geometric” vibe for branding.
Typical use cases
- Background textures for premium product pages.
- Decorative panels, packaging, and label designs.
- Tech‑meets‑craft visuals (architecture, interiors, fashion).
- Pattern fills for posters, editorial layouts, and web headers.
Tips
- Use a small rotation to avoid perfectly axis‑aligned repetition (it can feel more organic).
- For backgrounds, keep opacity low; for a bolder woven feel, increase line width slightly.
- For a true weave illusion, add a thickness hierarchy in your vector editor (some strands thicker, some thinner).
FAQ
Is Kagome the same as a hexagon grid?
No—hex grids tile only hexagons; Kagome includes both triangles and hexagons, which makes it more intricate.
Why is it called trihexagonal?
In tiling terminology the vertices connect triangles and hexagons in a repeating arrangement; “Kagome” is the common design name.
How do I keep it subtle?
Lower opacity, use a light line color, keep stroke thin, and increase Size slightly to avoid dense crossings.
