Shirts with kyo-katagami patterns released from Beams Plus

Shirts using our kyo-katagami patterns are now available from the Beams Plus brand.

The two patterns are “Suimon” and “Ho-tsume”.
These patterns seem to have been made at the end of the Edo period.

Now let us introduce the original katagami.
First is the “Suimon” pattern.

The pattern “Suimon” is a design of ripples on the surface of the water.
Next is “Ho-tsume”.

“Ho-tsume” is a pattern that represents the front view of old sailboats.
It feels very modern.

Kyo-katagami from our collection is featured in “Monthly A WORLD OF WONDERS”.

The renewal of our website has finally finished.
We’d like to introduce new information, which we could not inform you about before.

Eight of our kyo-katagami were featured in the January 2020 issue of “Monthly A WORLD OF WONDERS” -Happy and Fun Edo Patterns- by Kumagai Hiroto (illustrations and text) published by Fukuinkan.

The author, Mr. Kumagai Hiroto, is a book designer.
He collects and researches “wasarasa(Japanese chintz) and katagami(Japanese pattern papers) and also gives lectures on them.
I met him for the first time when I was invited as a panelist at the KATAGAMI Style exhibition commemorative symposium held at the Mie Prefectural Art Museum in the fall of 2012.
As you feel from this picture book, he has a warm personality.

ローケツの技法 その3

 ローで、線描きして、その中に多色の色さしをして柄を表現するのはよくある技法です。
また、それを総てローで伏せて、地色をつける(引染)ことも、よくあることです。

しかしながら、その線描きとロー伏せの間に、ほんの少し(1mm?)のすきまをあけて、伏せる表現方法を考案した職人さんがおられます。
さし色と線のあいだに地色が入るため、さらに柄全体の表現に深みが出る技法です。

これを「ずぼら伏せ」という名前をつけておられました。
