Script error: No such module "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 Script error: No such module "lang"., 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.

Script error: No such module "lang". was first invented as an inexpensive and faster alternative to highly-patterned woven brocade fabrics. Over time, Script error: No such module "lang". evolved into a respected fibre art form of its own.

Thin fabrics dyed in the Script error: No such module "lang". 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 Script error: No such module "lang". fabric, if the stencils are properly placed and the panels joined correctly, can display a seamless stencilled pattern. Besides cotton, Script error: No such module "lang". has been used to decorate linen, silk and fabrics that are entirely or partially-synthetic.
