Japanese Chiyogami Paper Red Folding Fan And Flowers (P75) by FromJapanWithLove
Japanese Chiyogami Paper Red Folding Fan And Flowers (P75) by FromJapanWithLove http://www.etsy.com/listing/13839217/japanese-chiyogami-paper-red-folding-fan
This is hand-silkscreened chiyogami paper. This paper is beautiful-there are lots of folding fan and flowers like cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and etc. So beautiful!
This is 1/2 of a full sheet which works out to 30 x 90 cm or 12 x 35 inches. It comes folded in a bag (I bought it this way) and I will package it very carefully so it doesn't get damaged.
Chiyogami has a long past but today the decorative patterns are silkscreened onto machinemade sheets of paper that is a mix of kozo ( a deciduous tree indigenous to Shikoku and Kyushu Islands in Japan) and sulphite (sulphite is used to keep the price reasonable). To create 1 piece of gorgeous chiyogami, a sheet of paper is silkscreened by hand with each individual color. Between applications of color, the sheets are dried on racks. You can imagine how time consuming and difficult it must be to line up each color in relation to the pattern!
This paper is perfect for scrapbooking, card making, origami, collage or any project you can think of!
Vintage Japanese Stencil Flowers Leaves Kimono Katagami in Showa Period
Vintage Japanese Stencil Flowers Leaves Kimono Katagami in Showa Period http://www.etsy.com/listing/92268437/vintage-japanese-stencil-flowers-leaves
This was an amazing find. This is called "型紙" or "katagami" stencil. This is a stencil that was used to make "kashigata" (for more information on "kashigata please see below).
They are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are at about 25-30 years old .
Katagami are made of multiple layers of thin mulberry paper which are bonded with a glue extracted from persimmon, which makes a strong flexible brown coloured paper.
This katagami was used for "katazome" which is the method of dyeing fabrics (kimonos) using a stencil and a resist paste. The resist paste was made with rice flour and when dyed, the dye didn't adhere to the areas covered with the paste. It was an inexpensive way to make all-over patterns similar to a woven cloth.
