Comparison of culture and aesthetic sense on dyeing of stencil between Okinawa and Mainland of Japan, with special reference to BIN-GATA, ISE-GATA and AIZU-GATA

1)BIN-GATA有白色和彩色区域两种雕刻，而AIZU-GATA和ISE-GATA有白色或彩色区域一种雕刻。2）BIN-GATA和ISE-GATA有两种不同的细丝线张力技术。带有丝挂（一种细丝线张力）的BIN-GATA技术保留在冲绳岛，带有丝挂的ISE-GATA技术保留在冲绳。三重县有“Itoire”（一种不同的细丝线张力）。3）BIN-GATA的人物是由一个染色的人使用一个小正方形的Rukujyu的立场，这是由干燥和加工冲绳豆腐（豆腐）。4）ISE-GATA是由雕刻人物和染料模板的工人生产的，其中一些人在技术上如此出色，他们成为活国宝。BIN-GATA是由自己做所有过程的工人生产的。5）在会津-GATA和ISE-GATA的模版染色通常具有单一的颜色。另一方面，在冲绳，主要有许多彩色染色与颜料，如Irosashi（彩色印刷），Irokubari（着色），熊通（暗渐变）和Nidozuri（二色印花），产生梦幻、自由、鲜艳的美感。6）风格的染色有两种方法;一种是通过染色，如BIN-GATA，另一种是通过染色，如ISE-GATA和AIZU-GATA。7）BIN-GATA是一种设计，ISE-GATA的设计创造了一种微妙的氛围，而会津-GATA的设计在技术上是杰出的。8）我曾带领一名研究生在冲绳教授BIN-GATA作为教材，并与我联名发表了有关日本蜡纸染色的论文。

1) BIN-GATA has two carvings with white and colored fields, while AIZU-GATA and ISE-GATA have one carving with white or colored field.2) There are two different technique of thin silk thread tension between BIN-GATA and ISE-GATA. Technique of BIN-GATA with Itokake (kind of thin silk thread tension) remains in Okinawa Island, and that of ISE-GATA with. Itoire (a different kind of thin silk thread tension) exists in Mie Prefecture.3) Figure of BIN-GATA is carved by a dyeing person who uses a stand of a small square Rukujyu which is produced by drying and processing of Tofu (bean curd) in Okinawa.4) ISE-GATA is produced by workmen who carve figure and dye stencil; some of them have technically so outstanding that they become living national treasure. BIN-GATA is produced by workmen who do all process by themselves.5) Dyeing of stencil in AIZU-GATA and ISE-GATA generally has a single color. On the other hand, that in Okinawa has mainly many colored dyeing with pigment, such as Irosashi (colored printing), Irokubari (coloration), Kumadori (dark gradation), and Nidozuri (twice colored printing), which produce aesthetic sense with fantasy, freedom, and brightness.6) Style of dyeing has two methods; one is by stain such as BIN-GATA, and the other is by dyeing such as ISE-GATA and AIZU-GATA.7) BIN-GATA is made a design, while design of ISE-GATA creates a delicate atmosphere and that of AIZU-GATA is technically outstanding.8) I have been leading a graduate student who taught BIN-GATA as teaching materials in Okinawa, and published some papers concerning dyeing of stencil in Japan under joint signature with me.
