Fukizumi (吹墨)
A decorative stenciling method. Fukizumi, which literally translates to "blow ink," is a method of blowing or spraying ink over the top of a stencil, which is then removed from the vessel leaving voids in the pigment (Crueger et al. 2006:51, 286; Ross 2009:155). Sprayed pigment (fuki-e / 吹き絵) can be applied with or without stencils and is often used to produce shading effects known as bokanshi. Fuki-e methods have been used since the seventeenth century for cobalt-colored decoration, and since 1893 with other pigment colors (Jahn 2004:342).
