Fijian Masi (Bark Stencil)

Fijian masi is bark cloth stenciled through banana-leaf templates with candlenut soot and mangrove-bark pigments. Unlike rubbed tapa traditions, the stencil technique produces hard-edged, poster-like geometry — diamonds, zigzags, and triangle bands crisply printed onto fibrous mulberry bark.

This design system channels the Lau Islands workshop aesthetic: sharp stencil cuts, alternating bands of soot-black and burnt-coral against a warm fibre ground, every shape a deliberate graphic decision.

斐济马西是一种以香蕉叶模板镂刻、再用石栗烟灰和红树皮颜料拓印于树皮布上的传统工艺。与汤加的摩擦法不同，斐济的模板印刷技术产生锐利的几何边缘——菱形、锯齿纹、三角带在纤维质地的树皮底布上清晰呈现。

本设计体系取材劳群岛工坊的视觉语言：刀切般的模板边缘、烟黑与焦珊瑚红的交替带状构图，每一个形状都是果断的图形决策，承载着瓦图莱莱岛数百年的仪式记忆。
