I've heard from people living in Jaipur that block printing is famous for a long time, but this time I was surprised to see the process of making "block printing" in Jaipur!
Very "Handmade!"
why am i so addicted
I would like to introduce you to how to make prints. .
Block printing process
First, prepare a woodcut of such a master block.
There are few things that are carved so delicately in the process.
Use 4 to 7 blocks in total.
Big but light! (Out of focus!)
Indian cotton stamped with ink colored with natural materials!
It's a one shot match.
goo punch.
Then it looks like an elephant.
Elephant motifs are a staple in India and can be found everywhere.
Second stamp with different ink.
Match the first design.
Can you see the color on it?
Then the third.
Very efficient.
and fourth.
Color was added to the elephant painting, which was only an outline! !
Awesome!
but,
We're not done yet.
After that, the color will change if exposed to sunlight for about 2 days.
This orange one is cute, but...
If you put it in a 2% saline solution, you can see it.
Jabujabuto.

How colorful!
Here is the before.
Surprise!
In addition, we are confident that the colors will not fade if we use proper dyes.
I will start putting it in fresh water in front of me.
Indeed, it looks like there is no bleeding.
This is a government-approved store, and the prices are a little high, but the technology has been proven to be genuine.
Currently, there are also silk screens and prints.
It seems that not everything is block printing, but hats off to this technology.
Bespoke block printing
I was addicted to block printing, and I was looking at clothes and accessories in Jaipur every day.
After that, I bought a handkerchief as a souvenir.
I ran out of numbers, and I said, "Choose what you like" from a large amount of cloth. . .
There is a factory nearby, so they will make it for you.
It was the evening of the last day, so I chose it in a hurry.
I spread it out a lot, so the one I didn't choose is on the bottom right. . .
When I looked at various things and looked at the bill, the amount was higher than the amount I originally paid, so I asked them to correct that part (although they had already given me a considerable discount...)
There was also a size adjustment for my clothes, and they said that they would deliver it to the hotel in 1-2 hours.
The coupon present this time will be a handkerchief from one of the famous brand stores that are very popular among Europeans, as well as the cloth that you have selected and ordered.
Please look forward to it!
Because it is a handmade print, there may be ink misalignment, flying, etc. due to the design. Please understand.
