This listing is for a decorative image taken from a vintage Japanese katagami stencil, suitable for framing.  It is not part of the original stencil - it is a copied image, machine-cut, on thick art paper. See below for how these traditional stencils were designed, cut by hand and used to pattern Japanese textiles.

This image includes several swallows in flight - some are solid while others are outlined. Swallows symbolize good luck, fidelity and fertility.

Photos show examples of how a carefully chosen piece of kimono fabric placed behind the crest adds depth, texture, and cultural resonance, allowing the colors and patterns of the textile to animate the design and transform into a layered work of art. 
The last photos give suggestions for framing. 

8" x 10", machine-cut on 90lb art paper. Available in black or white.
