Katazome Cranes Kimono Scarf

$100.00

This scarf is made from a vintage Katazome Kimono. Katazome 型染め is a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil, typically a rice flour mixture applied with a brush or a tool such as a palette knife. Stencils are used repeatedly to make a repeating pattern. Pigment is added by hand-painting, immersion dyeing, or both. The area of the fabric covered and permeated by the paste mixture resists the later application of dye, thus creating undyed areas within the fabric.

Dimensions
160 × 33 cm
63 × 13 inches

100% silk
