The takarazukushi 宝尽くし or takaramono 宝物 pattern, chart by Nadeshico Rin. This ancient auspicious pattern represents luck-bringing treasures symbols:
Hôju 宝珠, Cintamani flaming jewel said to fulfill wishes
Chôji 丁字, cloves buds, an expensive spice
Hôyaku 宝鑰, granary or warehouse key
Kinnô 金囊, treasure pouch
Fundo 分銅, counterweight
Hôkan 宝巻, scrolls of knowledge (also called more generally makimono)
Kakuremino 隠れ蓑, robe of invisibility (or also hagoromo 羽衣 the heavenly feathered robe) 
Uchide no Kozuchi 打���出の小槌, lucky mallet fulfilling wishes
(List of those fantastical treasures is not set, you can also find other artefacts like: shippô  七宝, geometrical shape representing jewels and precious metal, kakuregasa 隠れ笠, the hat of invisibility, etc).
Rin points that takarazukushi was popular pattern used by samurai women in summer. You can see here how this lady has her katabira 帷子 (summer kimono) around her waist in a way called koshimaki 腰巻. Sleeves stay because they are propped up by a specially reinforced sageobi 提帯 belt.

Disrepaired antique obi with a fantastic colorful takarazukushi (luck-bringing treasures) among bamboo over a cloudy black ground. The treasures featured here are:
uchide no kozuchi (lucky mallet)
kinnô (treasure pouch)
magatama (comma-shaped jewel)
sango (coral)
chôji (stylized clove)
hôkan ("precious scrolls")
This one would need a lot of work (mold stains+gold thread couching in a mess) to be restored to its former glory, but that pattern and colors would be so worthy of the extra work!
