About the Item
Auspicious Shishi Batik Screen
Period: Late Edo
Size: 145x173 cm (57x68 inches)
SKU: PTA62
Step into the mythical world of late Edo Japan with our radiant batik screen depicting the Shishi, or Japanese mythical lion. This extraordinary piece features a dynamic scene of Shishi leaping amidst waves, surrounded by bold white, dark, and red peonies against a dark green backdrop.
This extraordinary screen is steeped in symbolism. Shishi, revered as the king of beasts, symbolizes strength, courage, and protection, warding off evil spirits. The peony, or Botan, known as the king of flowers, represents prosperity, honor, and nobility. Together, they create an auspicious environment, inviting positivity and blessings into your space.
About the technique:
Tsutsugaki (筒描) is a Japanese technique of resist dyeing that involves drawing rice-paste designs on cloth, dyeing the cloth, and then washing off the paste.[1]
The rice paste is typically made from sweet rice, which has a high starch content and is therefore rather sticky. The paste is applied through a tube (tsutsu) similar to a piping bag. A related process is to apply the paste through a stencil, a technique known as katazome.
The cloth dyed is typically cotton, and the dye is typically indigo, so the design is usually white on blue. Banners for shops or other purposes are sometimes made in this manner.
The designs are often creatures from Japanese mythology such as the crane or the tortoise, or a family crest, or a name (written in kanji). Flowers and trees are common motifs as well.
