Stencil for Textile with Pattern of Bush Clover and Meandering Stream 19th century Japan A poetic autumn landscape is represented by only two elements, bush clover and a meandering stream. Stencils like this one were traditionally used in Japan in a resist-dyeing process to produce patterned cloth. A length of white cloth was stretched out and paste was applied through the stencil, which was then moved to the next area and the next until the entire length was covered. The cloth was then dyed, usually with indigo, and the areas covered with the paste resisted the dye. Although the pattern is pictorial, its direction is ambiguous, a hard-to-achieve effect that is a tribute to the designer's skill. This ambiguity allows the textile to be right-side up, whether used as the front or back of traditional Japanese garments, which have no shoulder seam..

Textile with Arabesque and Palmette Design 14th century The intricate tendril designs on this textile form elegant palmettes which enclose pearled borders and blooming heart-like buds in its interiors. This cotton textile which uses block-printing and mordant dye techniques points to the province of Gujarat as the place of production and a key center for the manufacture of textiles through the centuries.
