This book is a compendium of traditional Japanese stencil patterns (Ise-katagami), which are believed to have a 1,000-year history in Japan and are still used for kimono, obi and many other Japanese fabrics.

The stencils themselves are from the collection of Isetan Mitsukoshi, a Japanese department store chain, who opened their private archives in order to produce this volume. Text in English and Japanese.
