https://en./wiki/Ise_katagami Katagami (finely cut paper stencils) are used in the dyeing of cloth, typically long bolts of cotton, silk, or other cloth used for kimono and other Japanese garments. Ise katagami stencils are made from layers of handmade Japanese traditional paper bonded together with persimmon tannin and carved with openwork designs. Katagami stencils have long been used in, for example, Edo komon (usually silk or ramie textiles dyed with minute, repeating patterns), cotton textiles for yukata (summer kimonos), and y?zen dyed silks. Various patterns are expressed on katagami stencils, and they show the richness and interest of Japanese design, as well as the remarkable prowess of Japanese fine-cutting techniques.
