Vintage Japanese Kashigata Stencil Kanzashi by vintagefromjapan

via etsy.com

This was an amazing find. 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 one is shape of "Kanzashi" (Japanese Traditional Style Hairpin).

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 one is made from paper-but not flimsy normal paper....this is wonderful thick Japanese paper and it is in fabulous condition.

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

The stencil measures about 17 x 9 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.

Vintage Japanese Typewriter Key Stamp Japanese Style WA

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　"和" "wa" = "Japanese Style".

It measures 2cm long (long enough to be able to get a nice grip) and 1.5cm wide. The Chinese character itself is about 1.5mm wide. It is made of metal.
