Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI think you meant to say kirigami which is papercutting not katagami which is stencil making and dyeing textiles...
Dr. Maie Yanni
Thank you for pointing this out. Yes, actually both. The stencil in the persimmon paper cutting art of katagami, without the fabric dyeing component. But kirigami should also be included in the description, because of the physical form, and end result.
