Spider Chrysanthemums

About the Item

Spider Chrysanthemums. c.1900. White ground Japanese stencil on mulberry paper treated with persimmon juice and smoked. Silk thread insertion reinforcement. 11 7/8 x 14 1/4 (sheet 16 x 16 3/4). An extremely stylized version of a favorite flower in Japanese art. Katagami is the Japanese craft of making paper stencils for dyeing textiles. It is designated as one of the Important Intangible Cultural Properties of Japan. Multiple layers of thin washi paper are bonded with a glue extracted from persimmon, which makes a strong flexible brown colored paper. The designs can be extremely intricate, and consequently fragile. Now the stencils are often sold as artwork, attached to hand fans, or used to decorate screens and doors in Japanese rooms. For kimono printing the stencils are stabilized by attaching them to a fine silk.
