THESE STENCILS ARE MADE FROM THE BARK OF THE MULBERRY TREE AND THEN TREATED WITH THE JUICE OF JUST RIPENED PERSIMMONS WHICH MAKE THE PAPER STRONG AND RESISTANT TO WATER. SILK OR SOMETIMES HUMAN HAIR IS USED TO STRENTHEN THE PAPER AND HELP IT HOLD IT'S SHAPE. THIS PROCESS STARTED AROUND 1880 AND IS WHAT MAKES THIS KIND OF KATAGAMI DIFFERENT FROM THE OLDER ISE KATAGAMI. THIS ALSO MAKES THE PAPER MORE DURABLE FOR REPEATED USE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT THICKNESSES OF PAPER USED. FOR VERY FINE DESIGNS, THIN PAPER IS USED AND FOR BOLD PATTERNS THICKER PAPER IS USED. SILK ON INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF PAPER: OUTSIDE AGE:C1880-1910(WE CAN TELL THIS FROM THE LARGER SIZE OF THE PAPER AND THE USE OF SILK)CONDITION: GOOD, A LITTLE BIT OF ROUGHNESS AROUND THE EDGES OTHERWISE USUAL WEAR FOR VERY OLD AGE AND USAGE. DIMENSIONS: ABOUT 19.5" OR 50CM X 25" OR 65CM. SOME ARE A LITTLE BIGGER OR A LITTLE SMALLER. Uses: These stencils can be used for dying textiles or other surfaces. 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. WE SHIP WORLDWIDE AND COMBINE SHIPPING NEW SHIPPING SYSTEM!!!! We can now ship our katagami by airmail.

(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. Since most of my customers order multiple items over multiple auctions, I usually don't combine their orders until they request that I do so. 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 shipping. So please ALWAYS ask me for a final invoice when buying MULTIPLE ITEMS. For EMS SEE TABLE BELOW EMS EXPRESS 4-7 DAYS WITH INSURANCE & TRACKING EUROPE $20.00 N. AMERICA & AUSTRAL... read more
