Beautiful Japanese Stencils at Etsy.com

This was an amazing find. This is from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989. This is called "型紙" or "katagami".

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.

We were lucky to come across a case of these "katsuji" (Japanese typewriter "keys"). There are over 2300 of these. They are vintage but have never been used. These would have been the extras in case the ones in the machine broke. Please look at the last picture to see what an old Japanese typewriter looked like. There were at least 2000 keys so needless to say, this was only used in businesses.

They are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are at least 30 years old as Japanese stopped using them once the word processor was invented.

This would be perfect for using as a stamp with ink or for stamping clay etc.

This stamp is the Kanji (Chinese character) for "蓬" "yomogi" = "Mugwort".

It measures 2.3 cm long (long enough to be able to get a nice grip) and 5mm wide. The Chinese character itself is about 5mm wide....so please note how tiny it is. It is made of metal.

Christmas Cards (Mini Santa & Geisha Girls etc) in Japan at eBay.com





This is really beautiful and unique Christmas Cards at eBay.com! This is called Mini Santa Christmas Cards in Japan. There are mini Santa Claus and Geisha Girls or Sumo Wrestlers etc. 

On the front of the card it says " Season's greetings" and on the inside it says "The season's best wishes and a happy new year.". Not only does the card sparkle with gold but it is embossed-the pictures don't do it justice!
