Summary/Abstract: Our traditional arts, whose origins date back centuries ago, have developed and progressed with different styles and artists. Saz style ranks first among the styles that has made a difference in our traditional arts and have survived until today. The style, which initially carried the impressions of the Far East and manifested itself with ink works since the 14th century, emerges as a different decoration style from the hand of one of our 16th century artists, Shah Kulu. Saz yolu was a style created by Shah Kulu in the 16th century. The most distinctive features of the Saz style are richly detailed, dagger-leaves with a moving appearanceIn our study, similar examples of leaf motifs in saz yolu patterns in nature were investigated. Similar trees were scanned in terms of leaf shape. Comparisons were made by observing dried and curled leaves in various ways. It has been observed that the leaves of the willow tree are the most similar to the leaf motifs in the patterns. The leaves presented visually in our article are selected from hundreds of leaves that have fallen from the Willow Tree (Salix babylonica), dried over time and collected randomly. It is aimed to reach the origins of the motifs in nature and to reveal how the artists reflect the nature with the help of their imaginations.
