Japanese Kimono Stencil - Katagami - Vintage Stencil - Japanese Stencil - Large Stencil - Vintage Japanese Stencil - Flowers

Japanese Kimono Stencil - Katagami - Vintage Stencil - Japanese Stencil - Large Stencil - Vintage Japanese Stencil - Flowers

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". Flower.

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.

**** Please note that this katagami has a fine silk screen between the layers of paper. This was added to reinforce the stencil. This means that unlike some of our other stencils, you wouldn't be able to use a pencil-paint or ink would work.

*******PLEASE NOTE- there is a distinct odor from whatever ink was used on this. This is in excellent condition but it is vintage and therefore not perfect. This is also quite sparkly so sparky paint/ink must have been used.

This stencil could be used but it would also be fabulous framed and hung on a wall.

This stencil measures about 22 x 25cm.

PLEASE NOTE:This was very hard to take pictures of and it is much more amazing in person.

Vintage Japanese Stencil - Traditional Japanese Stencil - Family Crest - Flower

Vintage Japanese Stencil - Traditional Japanese Stencil - Family Crest - Flower

This was an amazing find. They are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are at about 25-30 years old . This is called "型紙" or "katagami". This is a stencil that was used to make "kashigata" (for more information on "kashigata please see below).

This is really gorgeous! The shape is that of a "kamon" which means a family crest (which crest we don't know). There are no set rules in the design of a kamon. It most commonly consists of a roundel encircling a figure of plant, animal, man-made, natural or celestial objects, all abstracted to various degrees. Religious symbols, geometric shapes and kanji were commonly used as well. These symbols are often found in logos of stores (which help to identify what they sell), sushi restaurants, and on packages of food to lend an air of elegance. Senbei (Japanese crackers) and other traditional Japanese sweets may also use one.

The stencil measures about 7.8 x 6.5 cm.

More information on "kashigata" (the sweets made from the molds that were made using the stencils).

In the past, when a person died, it was expensive to give flowers or fresh food so, people made sweets (these are made from soy flour, rice flour and sugar) in the form of flowers, fish etc. These items were then placed on the "butsudan" (family shrine found in the house) for the dead person.

The sweets was also used for holiday celebrations, tea ceremony etc. These are for decoration only-they are never eaten.

The stencil measures about 9 x 9.5 cm.
