Japanese Katagami Please feel free to check out our other site ARMASINTINCJP. We sell all kinds of Japanese antiques there. Katagami 1 piece ITEM DESCRIPTION : ITS A ONE OF A KIND ORIGINAL JAPANESE MID SHOWA PERIOD 1940-50 STENCIL PATTERN "KATAGAMI" FOR DYING TEXTILES "KATAZOME". JAPANESE PAPER STENCILS WERE USED IN A PROCESS OF RESIST-DYING TEXTILES. THESE STENCILS ARE MADE OF TWO OR MORE LAYERS OF HANDMADE MULBERRY PAPER (KOZO) LAMINATED TOGETHER AND WATERPROOFED WITH PERSIMMON TANNIN. SMOKE CURING GIVES THE PAPER ADDITIONAL STIFFNESS AND TURNS IT A RICH BROWN. SOME OF THEM ARE REINFORCED WITH A NETWORK OF SILK THREADS SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE LAYERS OF PAPER. THE NEWER KATAGAMI HAVE THE SILK ON ONE SIDE OF THE PAPER. THE STENCILS EMBODY JAPANESE DESIGN FEATURES SUCH AS A PREFERENCE FOR ASYMMETRY, A FLATTENED PICTORIAL SPACE, THE STYLIZATION OF NATURAL FORMS, THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE TREATMENT OF THE SAME ELEMENT, THE COMBINATION OF ABSTRACT AND NATURALISTIC ELEMENTS, THE ILLUSION OF DEPTH CREATED BY OVERLAPPING PLANES, AND THE USE OF PATTERN OR TEXTURE TO FILL SILHOUETTES. SILK OR NO SILK: SILK SILK ON INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF PAPER: OUTSIDE CONDITION : GOOD, A LITTLE BIT OF ROUGHNESS AROUND THE EDGES OTHERWISE USUAL WEAR FOR VERY OLD AGE AND USAGE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER STORED THESE STENCILS FOLDED, SO THERE IS A CREASE THAT WILL WORK OUT WITH TIME. I AM HANGING THEM TO STRAIGHTEN THEM. DIMENSIONS : ABOUT (29 INCHES, 88 CM) X (13 INCHES, 39.5 cm). SOME ARE A LITTLE BIGGER OR A LITTLE SMALLER. USES: THESE STENCILS CAN BE USED FOR DYING TEXTILES OR OTHER SURFACES SUCH AS WALLS. THEY CAN ALSO BE FRAMED AND HUNG AS DECORATION OR FITTED AND FORMED TO OBJECTS SUCH AS LAMPSHADES. THEY ARE EASILY CLEANED WITH SOAP AND WATER. ALL ORDERS OF OVER $100 MUST BE SHIPPED EMS TO PROTECT THE BUYER AND SELLER'S INTEREST. WE SHIP WORLDWIDE AND COMBINE SHIPPING NEW SHIPPING SYSTEM!!!! We can now ship our katagami by airmail. Stencils will be loosely rolled and placed in a specially made box cut specifically to hold katagami. We are very careful not to roll them tightly as they can be difficult to unroll. For large orders our old EMS system is recommended. EMS for all orders available upon request. These katagami will be rolled slightly tighter and be in a longer box due to their extra length. They are a bit bigger than the regular katagami we sell.

(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY) Many of my customers prefer to shop over many auctions and combine shipping. This is perfectly fine with me. Please withhold payment until you are done shopping. The last week of every month I will pause listing so that I can settle everybody's accounts and do my own books. One thing I ask, is that you please do not pay until you are done shopping. If I have items in my awaiting shipping folder, they will be shipped out within five days. Occationally I get customers who pay and then ask me to hold their items. This is very hard to keep track of and very often they get accidentally shipped as I have many orders to deal with. So please don't do this. I prefer that you wait to pay until you are completely done shopping.

So when you are ready to check out, send me a message asking for combined shipping. That way, I don't combine your order, and then have to recombine it again after you order more. Please be careful when paying your bill. Ebay does not combine items properly with its automatic system, so if you try to pay without sending me a message to combine first, you will most likely be overcharged for s... read more
