A hand-stenciled calendar, printed on hand-made Washi paper, 4 decle edges, April 1950, 27.5 x 38.2 cm., excellent example, English & Japanese text, varied color printing, color decorated border, obscure.RARE EXAMPLE . *** **** *** . . HAND-PRINTED FULL COLOR KATAZOME [STENCIL] . . . BY THE LEADING EXPONENT OF THE "MINGEI" [FOLK-ART] . * This is a lovely example printed in 1950, five years after the end of World War II, during the period of American Occupation. . A superb example stencil-printed by hand on handmade Washi mulberry paper. . SERIZAWA Keisuke [1894-1984]: He was designated as a 'Living National Treasure" by the Japanese government. His unique artistic style and printing methods have been recognized as a unique Japanese folk-art. His works are highly valuable and well collected by world museums and private collectors alike. . *** Per Wikipedia: . "Serizawa Keisuke, was a Japanese textile designer. In 1956, he was designated as a Living National Treasure by the Japanese government for his Katazome stencil dyeing technique. A leading member of the Mingei movement founded by Yanagi Soetsu, Serizawa visited Okinawa several times and learned the "Ryukyu Bingata" techniques of dyeing. . His folk-art productions included kimono, paper prints, wall scrolls, folding screens, curtains, fans, and calendars. He also produced illustrated books, including Don Quixote, Vincent van Gogh and A Day at Mashiko. In 1981, the Municipal Serizawa Keisuke Art Museum was opened in the city of Shizuoka. Another museum, the Serizawa Keisuke Art and Craft Museum was opened in 1989 in Sendai. . The distinguishing trait of Serizawa's Katazome method is the use of the starch mixture to create, not a colored area as is current in direct-dyeing process, but a blank, a non-dyed example that forms a part of the pattern and that can later be multi-colored by hand or monochrome as the designer sees fit." See citation below . *** Color photos are of this and most other items are posted on our website. . *** CONDITION: The work is clean and firm, as issued, there are 2-3 old mild folds which are for the most part now flat, the back side is clean, there are three mild old horizontal golds. . *** REFERENCE: .
