"Katazome-shi" literally means stencil-dyed (katazome) papers (-shi). Developed during the 20th century in Kyoto, based on traditional kimono printing techniques. These richly colored papers are printed by hand, one color at a time, using persimmon-dyed kozo as the stencils, and aided by paste and "Gojiru" (soy bean juice), the pigments absorb deeply into the paper to produce long-lasting color.
