A Kinchaku 巾着 is a traditional Japanese drawstring bag or pouch closed by pulling cords tight at the top. This one-of-a-kind Kinchaku is made froma Katazome Furisode 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.
