Katagami stencil with an all-over pattern of scattered ginkgo leaves

Katagami stencil with an all-over pattern of scattered ginkgo leaves. The design of fallen leaves is probably associated with Autumn or early Winter. This is one of around 400 Japanese katagami stencils which are part of the Silver Studio Collection. The stencils were produced in Japan as a way of applying patterns to fabric, mainly kimonos. The katagami collected by the Silver Studio were used by their designers as reference material to produce their own Japanese-inspired patterns.
