Product Description:

This was an amazing find. This is from the Taishou Period which was from 1912-1926. This is called "åž‹ç´™" or "katagami". This is a stencil that was used to make "kashigata" (for more information on "kashigata please see below). Apparently, these (we have around 100 to list) were found in an old Japanese sweets store in Kyoto.

This one has the kanji of 奏任待遇 sounin taiou (奏任 high class near emperor in maiji Period +　待遇 treatment) which means special treatment like first class on airplane, in hotel, for pay check etc and 都遷式 which means the relocation [transfer] of the capital - very traditional Japanese style.
