Traditional Japanese Bride - Technique?

What would this piece be called? I know that it is a traditional clothed Japanese Bride. The fabric is padded like applique. Is it called a collage?

 

Japanese silk applique picture of bride with cherry blossom.
There is probably a Japanese name for these pictures, but outside Japan they are called silk applique pictures.

 

Thanks Any Jewelry. BTW I have learned a lot of history from reading your posts on other threads.
Have a Great Weekend !

Pleasure Sue, glad to be of help. And thanks for your comment, makes my day.
Have a great weekend too!

 

It's called Trapunto work. That's the name for that puffy quilting.

 

Ownedbybear,

Thank you for your help. Trapunto work is a new term in my vocabulary.

It is not Trapunto.
Trapunto is a traditional Sicilian quilting technique, which also became popular in Tudor England. That is probably why Obb thought this would be trapunto.
Related European techniques are boutis, matelassage and piqûre de Marseille or piqué Marseillais and a whole host of others. In Dutch we would call it gewatteerd, not that it would interest a Japanese person one bit.
My point is, these are all European names for European quilting techniques, not Japanese names for Japanese techniques.
The Japanese word for quilting is sashiko, but that is used for larger things which we would call quilts or quilted (clothing, bags, etc.). A technique like trapunto would probably be called sashiko in Japan, gewatteerd certainly would.
But I don't know if a Japanese speaker would refer to your little bride as being sashiko.

So Sue, to prevent any confusion in techniques and languages, I think it is best to stick with the term silk applique picture. That is how you will find them in shops and on the internet.

 

Thanks again any Jewelry.
