Comparison Of China And Japan Porous Through Printing Forme Dyeing

The theme of the essay is to discusson the review and comparison of thestencil paper forme printing anddyeing in China and Japan. Theresearch method is to compare by theresearch on the brief introduction ofthe "Ise Stencil Paper Forme" , whichis used in the dyeing of Japan kimono,and is considered as one of the originsof Japan culture, and the stencilprinting of "Nantong Blue Calico"which still exists in Chinese cul(?)ure. The manufacture technology of stencilpaper used for dyeing was establishedas early as 960-1279, in the SongDynasty in China. However, theprinting forme of stencil printing anddyeing was transported into Japanbetween 1185 and 1333 (the KamakuraEra of Japan). The establishment ofJapan stencil printing and dyeing wasin the middle of the 16^th century.According to the facts above, it isconferred that the stencil printingand dyeing technology originated inChina should be transported to Japanduring 794 to 1185 (the Heian Era) orduring 1185 to 1333 (the KamakuraEra).During 1603 to 1867 (the EDO Era),because of the so-called "luxuryinjunctive" of Bankufu Government,people dared not to wear luxuriantclothes. However, they delicatelywove a kind of plain fabric whichlooked as if there were no patterns,while actually with extremely tinypatterns. The so called "tinygrain" fabric prevailed in the wholecountry at once. By contrast, althoughthe people in China lived a plain life,the fabric with fresh colors anddecent styles was in the favor ofpeople.As for the manufacture procedure ofstencil printing and dyeing, China andJapan almost use the same equipmentsand procedures. According toinvestigation, the relatively largedifferences are as follows: the paperused in stencil printing and dyeing inJapan was the "persimmon paintpaper" which was wiped with persimmonpaint and fumed with smoke, and thedye-resistant paste use sticky ricepowder and bran as the major materials.After dyeing, fresh water is used towash off the dye-resistant paste. Thestencil printing and dyeing in Chinauses the "oilpaper forme" with tungoil, and the dyeing-resistant pasteuse bean powder and lime as the majormaterial. After dyeing, the paste isshaven by knife.China used to use "persimmon paintpaper" and the dyeing-resistantpaste of sticky rice powder, but theyare no longer used. Because theoilpaper is more water-resistant than"persimmon paint paper" , and nosmoking is needed. And the bean powdercan be directly mixed with lime intoplasma. However, if sticky rice powderis used, boiling and steaming shouldbe undertaken first and themanufacture procedure of paste iscomplicated. However, Japan has keptthe material till now, Maybe it isbecause that the sticky rice powder issuitable for tiny grains. As foroilpaper, although it is highlywater-resistant, it is humid andsticky in summer, so that Japan, inwhich the summer is especially humidkeeps using the paste of sticky ricepowder and "persimmon paint paper" ,and all kinds of methods have beentried to improve the printing anddyeing method, which is more suitablefor Japan.By this research, it has beenprofoundly understood that thestencil paper forme printing anddyeing of Japan is originated from theblue calico of China. And knowledge onall kinds of stencil paper forme dyingand countless fun have been obtainedby the rescarch.In my opinion, the traditional culturewhich pursues the coexistence with thenature instead of mass production is full of wisdom and tricks, whichshould be passed to the future. Themagical craft created and extracted byblue calico technicians are full oftheir unique thoughts, and contain the"real abundance and spiritualwealth"...
