Oriental Indigo White Katazome Flowers Pattern Paper Plates

Decorate your party table with these cool paper plates covered in this beautiful Japanese indigo and white flower pattern. Katazome is a Japanese printing method where you apply a resisting paste on a fabric by means of stencils. The parts not covered by the past can be dyed. You repeat the process for the next color. That way you construct an illustration or a tiled pattern. It is used on for instance fabric for a kimono or you can tile a pattern on cotton. Japanese still often wear traditional clothes on which traditional pattern are printed. For instance yukatas or jinbeis. The style is also used for pattern prints on paper. I think is called Katazome shi. This is a pattern I found on the web, white flowers on a blue background. The blue looks a bit like indigo and indigo sounds so much better than blue.
