    Mie Pref. Suzukashi Shirokohonmachi 21-30
    This museum presents a collection of items related to Ise Katagami paper stencils. It's a five-minute walk from the east exit of Kintetsu Nagoya Line's Shiroko Station. Ise Katagami is one of the methods used for dying patterns on kimono. It's made with a variety of techniques involving shibugami, paper treated with astringent persimmon juice. Designs are then cut into the paper to create the stencils. The restored building that houses the museum was built in the late Edo Period. It was the home of Terao Saibee, a prominent Shiroko katagami wholesaler. It's been designated a Suzuka City Historic Site. In addition to the katagami stencils, the museum also displays kimono dyed using them and the tools used to make them. You can try making bookmarks using shibugami paper and small shikishi (fancy paperboard squares) too.

    団体で行きましたので説明員の方が付き、歴史や様々な技を映像などでひととおり見た後、実際に職人さんの実演を見せていただきました。 和紙を何枚も重ねて型紙にすること、模様にあわせて道具も一から手作りであること、そして根気のいる作業、と何から何まではじめて知ることばかりで驚きました。 継承には苦労も多いそうですが、このような場を通して広くPRしていただきたいです。
