Japanese Stencil Designs
Author | |
Abstract |
One relatively neglected aspect of Japanese art has been the highly skilled, delicate work of the Japanese stencil-cutter. These fragile designs, hand cut in stiff paper with long thin knives and fine punches and reinforced with strands of silk, were used to print on silk and cotton. A large collection of these stencils is reproduced in this volume, together with charming descriptions of materials and methods. |
