The other most common type of weave used for armor is the Japanese weave. This type usually comes in 4-in-1 or 6-in-1 patterns, and is laid out very differently to the European style. The "main" rings are laid out horizontally in a cross or hexagonal pattern, and smaller vertical rings are used to connect them. This style can appear more ornamental than the European weave, and was used more often to connect plates of solid armor rather than to provide protection by itself. As the name suggests, this style of chain mail was found mostly in Japan.
