Japanese Yuzen-Birodo 天鵝絨 cut velvet of a tree forest with a stag with original wood frame, late Meiji Period.
Nishimura Sozaemon 西村総左衛門 the Kyoto textiles company invented this technique in 1868. The velvet was woven by passing the threads over metal wires parallel to the woof and then cut to form the pile. The precise cutting would achieve a three-dimensional effect.
This art work technique was first seen at the Second National Industrial Exhibition in Tokyo in 1881.
