Product Description:

This was an amazing find. They are from the 昭和 showa period . The showa period is from 1926-1989 but these are at about 25-30 years old . This is called 型紙 or katagami. This is a stencil that was used to make kashigata (for more information on kashigata please see below). Bamboo Leaf as family crest. This is really gorgeous! The shape is that of a kamon which means a family crest (which crest we dont know). There are no set rules in the design of a kamon. It most commonly consists of a roundel encircling a figure of plant, animal, man-made, natural or celestial objects, all abstracted to various degrees. Religious symbols, geometric shapes and kanji were commonly used as well.
