| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Image (possibly) needs to be rotated 90% to left for correct orientation/view. 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. Four principal cutting techniques are used."--Wikipedia. Note: "Katazome...is a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil."--Wikipedia. Note: "Komon ('small motifs'), miniature stencil patterns produced by drill-carving or punch-carving. Although komon were worn by commoners as well as samurai, they are most strongly identified with the military elite whose patronage fostered their development during the Edo period."--Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 222. Note: Original caption information for this image provided as: "Komen (Abstract) of elongated Xs and dots. Popular in silk, Meiji Per. Stencil, Punch & thurst carving Doqobori Tsukibori" |
