This one shows flying fish leaping among reeds. Its material is the whole story: mulberry paper treated with fermented persimmon juice, reinforced with fine silk threads — and those silk threads are, quite literally, the bridge from paper stencil to silkscreen. We print it the way the stencil dyed cloth: the shirt \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e the indigo field, and the fish are resist-dyed in cream. One ink, faithful to the craft — the tool that made textiles, become a textile. Colour is never ours to add.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eContinue reading ▾\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003ch4\u003eAbout the craft\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eKatagami were cut by hand from washi paper and used across Japan for centuries to dye cloth — a single kimono could require dozens.
