【Waves and Rabbits】
Waves are considered protection against fire and fire prevention, while rabbits, being spirits of the moon, are regarded as auspicious creatures that bring prosperity in offspring and abundant harvests.
Based on the theme of the Noh chant "When the moon floats upon the sea, do rabbits also run across the waves?", this design expresses rabbits playing in the waves in a charming yet vibrant manner.

The History of Ise Katagami
While there are various theories about the origins of Ise katagami, it is said that during the Edo period, kata-dyeing (stencil dyeing) was used for samurai kamishimo (formal wear), and as komon patterns became increasingly intricate, stencil paper techniques developed. With the protection of the Kishu domain, stencil paper merchants organized trade associations and traveled throughout the country to sell their products, which led to the nationwide spread of Ise katagami.
Ise Katagami Techniques and Production Process
There are 4 types of traditional carving techniques: kiri-bori (awl carving), tsuki-bori (piercing carving), hiki-bori (pull carving), and dougu-bori (tool carving). Typically, each craftsman works as a specialist in their respective carving technique.
The production process involves creating preliminary sketches of the design, carving the komoto-gata (small master pattern), making komoto-utsushi (small master copies), and then proceeding to carve the transferred patterns.
Examples of Ise Katagami usage
Ise katagami refers to stencil paper with patterns carved out for the purpose of dyeing designs on kimono. Its aesthetic design and artistry have not only captivated audiences overseas, but have also been widely incorporated into fashion, interior design, and other products and projects.
Ise Katagami
Ise Katagami is produced in the Shiroko, Teraie, and Ejima districts of Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture.
Ise Katagami is created by applying persimmon tannin to Mino washi (Japanese paper), layering the sheets alternately in vertical and horizontal directions to increase strength, and applying persimmon tannin again to create the base paper. Patterns and designs for kimono are then hand-carved into this base paper using carving tools to create the stencils.
