A Kinchaku 巾着 is a traditional Japanese drawstring bag or pouch closed by pulling cords tight at the top. This large, reversible Kinchaku is made from two vintage Katazome Kimonos. 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. 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. Pigment is added by hand-painting, immersion dyeing, or both.
