This katazome stencil differs from the previous example in that it has been prepared for use by the use of black lacquer to attach nylon mesh gauze on top. The nylon mesh allows the dragging of a spatula over the top, forcing the resist through, without possibly catching and tearing any delicate parts of the stencil.

I wonder if there is a cultural history anywhere of lacquer. I have the impression that there were many closely held secrets about its production and application, not unlike silk.
