The stencils used by the Suzuhiro artists are cut by hand. With this kind of resist dyeing, a rice flour mixture is applied using a brush or a tool such as a palette knife. Pigment is added by hand-painting or immersion in a dye. Where the paste mixture covers and permeates the cloth, dye applied later will not penetrate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-504 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kamaboko.mom\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/asakusa_pic01-e1471480817367.png\" alt=\"asakusa_pic01\" width=\"333\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kamaboko.mom\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/asakusa_pic01-e1471480817367.png 370w, https:\/\/www.kamaboko.mom\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/asakusa_pic01-e1471480817367-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.kamaboko.mom\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/asakusa_pic01-e1471480817367-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Katazome on thin fabrics shows a pattern through to the back; on thicker or more tightly woven fabrics, the reverse side is a solid color, usually indigo blue for cotton fabrics. The stencils are properly placed and the panels joined carefully and exhibit a beautiful and natural&nbsp;pattern. The handmade qualities and skill of the Katazome are refined over years.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-196 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kamaboko.mom\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/1995_0102-e1467840942439.jpg\" alt=\"\u7d75\u66a61995_0102\" width=\"338\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p>One attraction of katazome was that it provided an inexpensive way for over-all patterns similar to expensive woven brocades to be achieved on cotton.
