Goldfish, Mulberry paper (kozo washi) treated with fermented persimmon tannin (kakishibu),, Scattered around the stencil are tiny goldfish. Punching and carving methods have both been applied to create the whimsical image. Dispersed throughout the design are tiny floral blossoms that mimic the details of the fish. The top edge appears to be a bit battered in places while there are splotches of some light brown material. Overall the stencil is uneven in color but appears to be in decent shape., Japan, late 18th - mid 19th century, textile designs, Katagami
