Description
    "Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染). Stencil dealers' seal (shōin 商印) at the bottom of the stencil. In ancient China, the word "bat" could also mean "to turn into happiness", so this positive connotation was also transferred to the bat in Japan. Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjūrō 市川團十郎 used the auspicious bat motif as one of his trademarks.
