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.
