Ise Katagami, used for stencil dyeing, is said to have originated around the 8th century.
It is made by laminating washi together using persimmon tannin and carving fine patterns on them with an engraving knife, and then hardening them with lacquer.
“Ise Katagami Preservation Society” appointed as an Important Intangible Cultural Property Association and has been working to preserve the technique.
Since last year, we made washi for Ise Katagami on a trial basis in Echizen.
