Experience the traditional technique of 'Kata-e-zome' passed down since the Heian period：平安時代から続く伝統技法「型絵染」を体験

What is Kata-e-zome?
Kata-e-zome is one of Japan's representative dyeing techniques, where patterns are carved into a stencil (called shibu-gata) made from starchy paper, and then dye is applied to fabric or washi paper using a resist paste. This traditional craft symbolizes the beauty of Japan, known for its intricacy and elegance, and has a long history that continues to resonate today.

In this workshop, we are honored to welcome Masayuki Isa, a Kata-e-zome artist and Japanese painter, as the instructor to provide you with a special experience.

Theme of the First Session: Katsushika Hokusai’s "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji: The Great Wave off Kanagawa"
Participants will use a Kata-e-zome stencil inspired by the famous ukiyo-e woodblock print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, and carefully layer colors with a brush to create a beautiful piece. This workshop offers a rare opportunity to experience the vivid colors that seem to emerge from the depths of washi paper, as well as the rich technique unique to Kata-e-zome.

We invite you to join this special experience.

型絵染とは？

 日本の染織文化を代表する技法の一つで、文様を彫り抜いた渋型紙と防染糊を使い、布や和紙に模様を染める伝統的な技術です。その精巧さと美しさで、長い歴史を持つ日本の美を象徴しています。 

今回のワークショップでは、型絵染作家であり日本画家の伊砂正幸氏を講師に迎え、特別な体験をご提供します。 

 第一回のテーマ：葛飾北斎「冨嶽三十六景 神奈川沖浪裏」 

浮世絵の名作を題材にした型絵を使い、刷毛で色を丁寧に塗り重ねながら、型絵染を制作します。和紙の奥深くからにじみ出るような鮮やかな色彩と、型絵染ならではの深い技法を直に体感いただける貴重なワークショップとなっております。

この機会にぜひご体験ください。
