| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Image of object 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. Four principal cutting techniques are used."--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: "In-yō ('positive and negative') Stencil patterns in which the ground is divided into alternating dark and light zones, creating a counterchange between figure and 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. |
