Oriental Pink Sakura Koinobori Fish Scale Pattern Placemat

Serve your dinner on this place-mat that is covered with traditional sakura pink Japanese fish scale design. This style is the perfect accessory. A traditional Japanese fish scale seamless pattern in traditional Japanese colors. One of which is sakura. 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.
