Ise Katagami is an art that involves cutting the designs made on special paper, forming molds which have been widely used in the Edo era, mainly to dye kimonos. It is a very detailed artistic work that requires precision and skill. Each job is unique and original, resulting in high quality work. [Interview Mr. Kamiya Shozo – Traditional Products Center of Suzuka] “Initially, Ise Katagami was one of the materials used to dye kimono fabric. Firstly, the outline of the drawing that is in Ise Katagami is cut and then it is used as a template for dyeing. The prints of kimono fabrics were made from Ise Katagami. ” The origin of Ise Katagami is uncertain. This technique was used in the stamping of kimono fabric, since many centuries ago. [Interview Mr. Kamiya Shozo – Traditioal Products Center of Suzuka] “There are several theories about the history of Ise Katagami, there are theories dated from 1000 years ago, but the closest one is a legend of less than 1000 years. There are reliable data that the Ise Katagami molds were cut 400 years ago, at the end of the Muromachi era. In the old graphics, it is possible to see people cutting the Ise Katagami. ” For those who wants to learn this traditional technique from Japan, in the city of Suzuka there is a place called “Suzuka-shi Dentou Sangyou Kaikan” which provides detailed information and features an exhibition of works, photos and other items related to this traditional art .
