Shared by cutejewelry in the Vintage


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).

This one is made from paper-but not flimsy normal paper....this is wonderful thick Japanese paper and it is in fabulous condition.

This stencil could be used but it would also be fabulous framed and hung on a wall.

This design is coming from the trace of striped the bark off a pine tree.

This family crest is for samurai family in 山梨県 Yamanashi Prefecture.

The stencil measures about 18.4 x 17.4cm.
