Oriental Delft Blue Koinobori Fish Scale Pattern Coaster

Serve your drinks on these sandstone coasters that are covered in this traditional Japanese Koinobori Fish Scale. The color is a traditional Delft ware blue. For all people who are into everything Japanese. A traditional Japanese fish scale seamless pattern in traditional Dutch Delft blue. Deep blue on white is a beautiful traditional Chinese combination for porcelain, which was exported all over the world. It is a simple abstract design of fish scale you see a lot in Japanese prints. This kind of pattern is often used on fabric for yukata or a jinbei, traditional Japanese clothes for in the hot summer months. But I have seen the pattern also those typical Japanese windsocks, the Koinobori. When you think of this type of fabric, resist dyeing comes to mind. In Japan vintage techniques are roketsuzome with wax, katazome, yuzen and tsutsgaki with rice paste. A favorite method of applying paste is by means of a stencil.
