Shikebiki fan
The traditional colors of Edo were painted by hand by craftsmen.
The Japanese paper is dyed with dyestuffs as it is, and the fan surface is hand-painted with fine lines by skilled craftsmen.
Shike" means silk threads drawn from silkworms, and "shike-biki" is a technique of dyeing delicate striped patterns on fabric with a comb-like shike brush. All the work is done by hand by specialized craftsmen, and it is different from weaving stripes in that it can produce a gentle and diverse range of stripes and latticework. Shisekibiki fans have this technique applied to the fan surface.
