| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Image can also be found in: Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 191. 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: "Kojishiro ('small white ground') [are] Chūgata stencils with an open ground (jishiro) that is broken up with a lattice, stripes, or filigree pattern."--Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 222. 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. Note: Original caption information for this image provided as: "Chugata (Kojishiro) small white ground. Isukibori. Naval flags and animals in boats thust carving (Tsukibori) silk webbing, Japan" |
