About
Do you know the dyeing technique called “katazome”? Before the advent of Inkjet Printers and Laser Impression, kimono patterns were made, either by hand painting or using this stencil technique. Hand painting consists of drawing directly on the fabric, resulting in a unique piece. Katazome, on the other hand, is a technique created for mass production, and it has a very long history. Stencil engraving requires patience and precision in design. During this activity, however, you can discover a part of the world of kimono and make a photophore with this traditional technique.
