Hand-cut from layers of washi paper treated with persimmon tannin (\u003cem\u003ekakishibu\u003c\/em\u003e), the paper becomes strong, flexible, and water-resistant, allowing the stencils to withstand repeated use in the dyeing process. Each stencil showcases the artistry and precision of Japanese craftsmanship, with designs ranging from delicate florals and geometric patterns to symbolic and nature-inspired motifs. Once practical tools for textile production, these vintage stencils are now appreciated as collectible works of art, beautiful for framing, display, or creative projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eView the video below to see how katagami stencils are designed, cut, and used.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fishnet Lattice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67679854231865,"sku":"1026stencilAM10","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/4560\/2105\/files\/IMG_1023_5fac8c8b-99e1-486d-84e4-0ff2ea5f6824.jpg?v=1792095544","url":"https:\/\/kyotokimono.com\/products\/netted-charm-vintage-katagami-stencil","provider":"Kyoto Kimono","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
