Katagami (japanese Stencil), Meiji Era Japan

About the Item

Katagami in washi paper, very finely worked. Japan, early 20th century. The sheets of paper making up Japanese stencils are made from mulberry bark. They are stuck together with fermented persimmon juice. It is this persimmon extract which gives the katagami this brownish color and which protects it from mold. The assembly thus obtained is then carefully cut by hand in order to create the patterns which will be printed on the textiles intended for making clothes, particularly those for kimonos.
