As one of the traditional Chinese decorative patterns, the miscellaneous treasure pattern became a common design in the Ming Dynasty. It was ingeniously woven into various themes and patterns of silk due to its small size and auspicious symbolism. At the time, it was imported to Japan and the Korean peninsula via the Maritime Silk Road, which attracted the interest of foreign silk enthusiasts. Based on the silk sutra cover of the Ming Dynasty, this paper aims to investigate the content and combination of the miscellaneous treasure pattern on the silk of the Ming Dynasty and the dissemination and exchange of textile art between China, Japan, and Korea as reflected in the pattern by comparing the pattern to fabrics with similar patterns in Japan and the Korean peninsula.
