Description
Tsutsu-gaki is a Japanese technique that involves applying a rice paste resist onto fabric using a tsutsu cone which is made from mulberry paper. The paste is applied by squeezing it through a brass tip placed in a paper cone in much the same way that cakes are decorated with icing squeezed from a pastry bag.
The brass tips, called zagane, work together on the inside and outside of the cone to create more strength and rigidity. The ends can be filed down to the desired size opening.
Brass tip size #9 works for tsutsu cone #10.
