53918KIMONO DESIGN - MANUSCRIPT. 10 1/2" x 14 1/2" oblong design book bound in single backed sheets on the short side with string not fukuro-toji. With a brushed title label sealed throughout but otherwise anonymous. As often happens with manuscripts the name of the shop which used it as a pattern book has been excised. There are 25 black and white design sketches for elaborate kimono. More of a Kano rather than a Rimpa style. The album probably dates from the first half of the 19th Century. A lovely item which suffers from very bad worming throughout. Though the damage is worse at the extremities of the work holes are shot through the paper and effect the design images as well. Sold with all faults. unknown books

A folding 'book' of 10 panels titled in crisp black lettering on the cover and in the same bold lettering throughout; with a short list of the material and equipment needed and small pen drawings of these items; followed by explanatory 'pages' each with a 7 1/2" x 10 1/2" tipped-on cloth with pinked edges example of the technique shown following the production of batik in the regular manner and also a special and more laborious technique wherein the wax applied to the design is scraped off by hand in order to provide yet another color: I. Reng. Rengan. "The first drawing on the white material with melted wax in a "chanting" to give the outlines of the design." II. Terusan showing reverse drawing & dyeing III. Tembokan "The spaces in the design which have to be white are covered with wax." IV. Tjelepan or Wedelan "The basic color dark blue is applied by soaking the painted material in wedel which is a vegetable color made of the leaves of the "indigo" plant."V. Kelengan or Lorodan cleaning by boiling in water also 'ngerak' the alternative process VI. Riningan or Biron covering spaces with wax or not if 'ngerak' process VII Sogan "The result after the dying process with soga the brown color made of the "bark" of various mentioned plants VIII Babara Satria Manah "The last process on the material by boiling in water and by scraping out the wax"; each example also has a numbered & typed strip of white cloth sewn-on identifying the piece with the last finished example noting "Made by Mrs. Sudirman Banjurmas"; the final panel noting "Presented by Virginia F. Cutler Djakarta"; a remarkably energetic and talented woman who overcame difficulties associated with an early widowhood childrearing duties and the Depression Dr. Virginia Farrer Cutler 1905-1993 American educator author lecturer professor and head of the Home Economics Dept at the University of Utah created the Family Home Living Center there was educational advisor for the State Dept.'s International Cooperation Admin. in Southeast Asia first in Bangkok Thailand for two years and then in Djakarta Indonesia for five years - we speculate that it was at this time that the "Batik" item was created.
