Using a technique originally developed in Kyoto centuries ago for printing kimono fabric, hand-cut stencils were made from persimmon-dyed “katagami” stencil paper.
In fact, the word “katazome” means “stencil-dyed”. Each colour is applied by hand onto a kozo-sulphite mix, handmade paper. The techniques and materials used ensure the ink is absorbed deeply into the fibers of the paper for long-lasting colour. Katazome-shi‘s rich colours and the quality of the printed sheets is cloth-like in many ways. This paper is an excellent choice for covering books, boxes, lampshades, and collage.
