Se-Katagami Paper Stencil

The history of Ise paper stencils can be traced to at least the end of the Muromachi era (1392-1573), when an artist named Kano Yoshinobu made a painting of a person using such a stencil.
Ise paper stencils are used to apply pictures and patterns when dyeing fabric for various kinds of kimono fabric, including yuzen, yukata and komon.
