Summary

Description
English: Japanese paper stencils used for dyeing textiles (伊勢型紙), late 19th century – c. 1940. Multiple layers of thin washi paper are bonded with a glue extracted from persimmon, which makes a strong flexible brown colored paper. The pattern is excised using a variety of tools known as dōgu-bori (道具彫り), then rice paste is passed through the stencil onto silk. When dyed, the color does not adhere to the areas with rice paste. By multiple alignments of the stencil, large areas can be patterned.
