Back in the days when I took a class on Fridays (eons ago) I learnt Hyougara and I was all, hello? I should have learnt that four years ago! I told everyone about it: "Do you know how to say animal print?", "No" (much to my delight no-one knew), but it never excited them as much as me. I was wearing me pink tiger cardi a lot those days. And hyougara tights. Anyway. One of my favorite words.
I was asking N what the diff. was between "gara" and "moyou", and it seems that it's hyou-gara, but can be either shima-gara or shima-moyou. Same with checks. Blast. Never gonna keep all of these straight. But hyou-gara, I'll remember.
(psst i think it's hyou-gara ヒョウ柄）
