Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Image can also be found in: Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, cover and p. 172. Note: "Katagami...or Ise-katagami is the Japanese art of making paper stencils [to be used in the process of putting designs on textiles]. The art is traditionally centered around the city of Ise in Mie Prefecture. Multiple layers of thin washi paper are bonded with a glue extracted from persimmon, which makes a strong flexible brown colored paper. The paper is cut with a combination of knives and punches."--Wikipedia. Note: "Chūgata ('medium patterns') designates repeat stencil patterns larger than komon and smaller than the large circular motifs (daimon) used as insignia on banners, tents, and livery."--Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 220. Note: "Jizomari ('dyed ground') [are] stencils in which the motifs are cut out and the ground is solid. Jizomari stencils produce white patterns on a dyed ground."--Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p.221. Note: "Katazome is a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil."--Wikipedia.
