Japanese Turtle Paste Resist Dyed Kozo PaperThis stylized turtle from Japanese heraldry was made by screen printing a flour resist paste onto Japanese kozo bark paper, applying dye thickened with carrageenen, then washing off the paste after setting the dye. This is loosely based on a Japanese textile dying technique called katazome.
