Are you familiar with Ise-katagami?
Ise-katagami is one of Japan's most representative traditional stencil-making techniques for dyeing textiles. Originating in the Muromachi period, it has long been used for creating patterns on kimono fabrics. In particular, during the Edo period, the craft reached a high level of specialization, used to dye samurai kamishimo (formal attire) as well as the fine komon patterns of townspeople’s clothing.
