pressing pad Explanation: I believe "tokibo" is same as "baren". This is a little tool used in the process of Ukiyoe painting, and a little round piece (let it be a piece of wood or metal) wrappted with bamboo peel (from young ones called "takenoko" -- thus bamboo sheath in your source material) as shown in the site referenced by tictac-san. Only thing is the site does not refere this tiny tool in Enlgish whereas what you are looking could be this word "pressing pad". The site is: http://www.yamasa.org/japan/english/destinations/nagano/saka... Description follows (from this site): The hanshite was pasted face down on a block of cherry wood whcich was then carefully carved so that the lines of the drawing were left in relief. Kentou (guide marks) were also carved in relief on the block as well as all subsequent blocks. The block was next handed to the printer who placed on it Japanese minogami-paper and then rubbed the paper with a baren (a pressing pad) to make an ink proof. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs 41 mins (2005-12-16 22:15:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- One more thing -- tictac-san's site shows baren made by palm leaves (shuro). To me the material is more likely bamboo peel (or sheath) given the prevalence of bamboo trees than palm trees in Japan. |

peer agreement (net): +1See web site Explanation: Further to Tictac's answer with the first web reference: QUOTE A small special brush, known as _tokibo_, made of either bamboo-sheath with its end crushed or by tying shuro (palm) fibres together is used for stirring the pigment in the bowl and for applying it either to the block or to the brush as the case may require. But in either case we put paste on the block to be rubbed over the block together with the pigment. Figure 20 Brushes and rags Left top: Brush for pigment. About 1 1/4 inches long. Left, second from top: Tokibo, about one-half the actual size; old. Left, second from bottom: Brush for pigment, slightly longer than half an inch. Left bottom: Tokibo, new. Right top: Hake, for water. Right middle: Zokin (wet cloth) containing a piece of wooden board inside and clamped on top by a piece of sheet bronze. The underside which is not shown is utilized. Right bottom: Zokin (wet cloth) folded and tied with a string. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs 46 mins (2005-12-17 08:20:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.scn-net.ne.jp/‾kikuhide/hanga-youhin.htm はこび/溶き棒 |
