Image was scanned from color slide. Image can also be found in: Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 147 and p. 190. 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: "Jishiro ('white ground') [are] stencils in which the ground is cut away. When paste is applied through such a stencil, the result is a dyed pattern on a reserved or white ground."--Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 221. Note: "Itoire ('thread insertion'), [is a] method of reinforcing a stencil by constructing a web of fine silk on a wooden frame and then gluing the two previously separated layers of stencil paper on either side of this web with persimmon tanning. After the silk is sandwiched between the two stencil sheets, the web is cut free from the frame."--Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 224. Note: "Katazome is a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil."--Wikipedia. |
