It is a name stamping using a traditional technique called "Katazome" dyeing on cloth.
Since everything is handmade by craftsmen, individual characteristics appear point by point even on the same cloth.
The pattern edges may be blurred, or the dyeing method may vary.
This "unevenness" brings out expressions and warmth that cannot be created digitally.
* Because the edges of the pattern vary depending on the cutting location, the position of the pattern cannot be selected. Thank you for your understanding.
The charm of name stamping
Speaking of name stamping, the mainstream is simple, patternless laser-made items.
However, this name stamping is impressive at first glance.
The moment you are praised with "What a wonderful name stamping!", you will surely be captivated.
Easy to use
Since there are pockets on the left and right when opened, you can separate your own and the other person's name stamps, or carry two types of name stamps, making usage free and flexible.
It is active not only as name stamping but also as card stamping where points cards are gathered and inserted.
Putting thought into each one
Making name stamping is done with "Yotsume dyed cloth edge".
In our dyeing workshop, traditional Japanese techniques such as "Katazome" and "Tsubokaki" are used to apply patterns on cloth, and products such as name stamping are created using the cloth as raw material.
<Katazome>
It starts by making a stencil from an original drawing.
The stencil is placed on the cloth, and a paste made of rice flour or starch is applied.
The parts where the paste is applied are not dyed and become the white parts of the pattern.
<Tsubokaki>
Paste is placed with a freehand brush like drawing.
The parts where the paste is applied remain white, similar to Katazome,
but the big feature of Tsubokaki is that it allows free expression unlike hand painting.
Regardless of which technique is used, the subsequent process is the same.
After the paste dries, dye is applied with a brush.
If it is a single color, it finishes at once, but when layering multiple colors, it dyes one color at a time as if painting a picture.
Finally, when the paste is washed off with water, the pattern finally floats clearly and it is complete after drying.
In this way, after a long process, one cloth is completed and the shape changes toward name stamping.
