A planner from Mie Prefecture discovered "Ise-katagami," a traditional Japanese kimono pattern. This chic long dress features a print of "Sekidashi Tessen Karakusa," an auspicious one-piece depicting clematis and arabesque, one of the Ise-katagami designs. Made from a cotton-rayon blend with a beautiful drape and elegant sheen, it offers a smooth and comfortable feel. While it has a relaxed A-line silhouette, the wrap-style design and pleats create a flattering, streamlined look. It can be worn on its own or layered with a turtleneck for enjoyment throughout multiple seasons.
[Mie Prefecture] About Ise-katagami (Ise paper stencils)
Ise-katagami refers to stencils with hand-carved patterns used for dyeing designs onto kimonos. This technique developed in the Ise region (present-day Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture). Since its founding in 1924, Okoshi Katagami Shoten Co., Ltd. has strived to enrich its designs and manufacture stencils, carrying on Japanese culture. Today, they continue their efforts to preserve this tradition for the future by incorporating patterns that reflect the aesthetic sense and sensibility cultivated over the ages into a wide range of genres, including fashion and interior design.
