An original design by Keisuke Serizawa (1895-1984), designer, painter and illustrator, who was designated a Japanese Living National Treasure in 1956. Born in the city of Shizuoka . He was honored for being the pioneer of katazome, or hand-stenciled dyeing, using cut out paper patterns and applying color to the stencils in a process that combined traditional Japanese dying techniques with Okinawan bingata. He was also a leader of the Japanese folk art movement or "mingel," and though many of his themes are not considered traditional, t is still an element in them that is essentially Japanese.
