Product Description This framed artwork is a "hand-carved" piece by a craftsman of Ise Katagami (Ise paper stencil), a traditional craft of Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture. It is a work of "Oosugi Katagami Kogyo," a long-established Ise Katagami workshop, and depicts two cranes with extremely intricate techniques. The craftsman carves the katagami paper, which is treated with persimmon tannin, with a single carving knife, creating a three-dimensional effect and delicate beauty that cannot be found in printed materials.
