Oriental Orange White Red Katazome Flowers Pattern Tea Towel

Buy your kitchen this kitchen towel that is covered in this beautiful Japanese orange, red, blue and white flower pattern. Katazome is a Japanese printing method where you apply a resisting paste on a fabric by means of stencils. The parts not covered by the past can be dyed. You repeat the process for the next colour. That way you construct an illustration or a tiled pattern. It is used on for instance fabric for a kimono or you can tile a pattern on cotton. Japanese still often wear traditional clothes on which traditional pattern are printed. For instance yukatas or jinbeis. The style is also used for pattern prints on paper. I think is called Katazome shi.
