Template:Nihongo is a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil, typically a rice flour mixture applied with a brush or a tool such as a palette knife. Unlike Template:Transliteration, stencils are used repeatedly to make a repeating pattern. Pigment is added by hand-painting, immersion dyeing, or both. The area of the fabric covered and permeated by the paste mixture resists the later application of dye, thus creating undyed areas within the fabric.
Template:Transliteration was first invented as an inexpensive and faster alternative to highly-patterned woven brocade fabrics. Over time, Template:Transliteration evolved into a respected fibre art form of its own.
Thin fabrics dyed in the Template:Transliteration style show the fabric's design on the back of the fabric, whereas thicker or more tightly-woven fabrics generally have a solid colour underside, typically indigo blue for cotton fabrics. Futon covers made from multiple panels of Template:Transliteration fabric, if the stencils are properly placed and the panels joined correctly, can display a seamless stencilled pattern. Besides cotton, Template:Transliteration has been used to decorate linen, silk and fabrics that are entirely or partially-synthetic.
