  KATAGAMI (Stencil Paper) is today spotlighted internationally by its rich and sophisticated designs and highly acknowledged skills. However, KATAGAMI has been actually already known in western countries, where new expressions were passionately desired in the art, and given influence to many artists and designers since mid 19th century, when the industrialization has flourished in the society. In this exhibition, we introduce how KATAGAMI functioned in those western countries at the time of art and design reform movements, such as the Arts and Crafts Movement. We also introduce how far it has been taken over to the present by showing approximately 400 pieces of exhibits from variety genres collected from 70 locations of inside and outside of Japan.
