Recommended by Sunny: (Collections Assistant)
This piece is a hand-carved, mulberry paper stencil that was once used in the Japanese fabric dying process, known as Katagami. The mulberry paper is handmade and naturally waterproofed with persimmon juice. The pattern was carved and reinforced with silk threads. While there is a clearly recognizable pattern, I find beauty in the creators intentional, asymmetrical abstraction. Not only is the piece itself a work of art, but understanding its function and history ignites imagination. Producing a new found appreciation.
