| 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: "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: "Katazome...is a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil."--Wikipedia. Note: "...(Bat is a homonym of happiness in Chinese.)..."--The history of Prince Gong's Mansion, Beijing International, Official Website of Beijing Government. Note: "The bat was auspicious because part of the Chinese word for bat (the fu in bianfu) is a homophone for "happiness."--Carved Paper: The Art of Japanese Stencil by Susanna Kuo, p. 125. Note: Original caption information for this image provided as: "Komen pattern stencil punch carving small bats,bats in Chinese form a homonym for ""Happiness"" |
