These lamps are made with Katagami paper stencils. Katagami is the Japanese art of making paper stencils for kimono printing. The designs are so incredibly intricate. Layers of thin washi are bound together and coated with persimmon tannin known as Kakishibu. Kakishibu has strengthening and waterproofing properties.

japaneseaesthetics:

‘Katagami’ (stencil), 19th century, Japan. ”Stencils are used in Japan to pattern textiles. They are made from two or three sheets of mulberry paper (kozo) laminated together with persimmon juice, which strengthens the paper and makes it water-resistant. Various methods and tools are used to cut the design. This example shows carp leaping a waterfall, an image which symbolizes achievement and success. Rice paste is applied through the stencil onto the cloth; the stencil is then carefully removed and re-positioned on the next section of fabric, the process being repeated along the entire length. When the cloth is dyed, the color does not penetrate the areas covered by paste.” V&A Museum
