Katazome-shi literally, stencil-dyed papers are also referred to as Wazome

Based on traditional kimono-printing techniques, these elegant bold patterned papers were developed in Kyoto during the 20th century by an inspired soul. Using persimmon-dyed kozo as the stencils, and aided by paste and "Kojiro" (soy bean juice), the pigments absorb deeply into the paper to produce long-lasting colour and the unmistakable look of a print truly made by hand. The strength and ageless beauty of these special papers makes them great for book covers and boxes, cards, decorative elements on paper and wood, lampshades or backgrounds for photos.

As they are extremely time-consuming to make and not always easy to get, we may not have all patterns in stock at all time. To avoid disappointment, please contact us or select your second or third choices when ordering.
