Japanese Chrysanthemum Katagami

This Japanese Chrysanthemum katagami is a hand-cut stencil crafted from heavy washi paper treated with persimmon tannin (kakishibu) for strength and moisture resistance. Traditionally used to pattern kimono fabric through the katazome technique, katagami are meticulously carved by artisans using hand-forged blades and punches, trained by master craftsmen. The chrysanthemum design demonstrates the precision and artistry of this historic process. Newly matted and framed. One of a kind.
