| A silk sieve is made with a circular wooden frame rolled up a thin board of cedar, a coarse-meshed silk cloth or lawn (a rough, hard and very thin cotton cloth) is spread on the frame, paint is applied using a brush and then the pigments are transferred by pressing the sieve against the printing block. |
絹篩は、杉などの薄板を円形状に丸めた木枠に、目の粗い絹布か寒冷紗（粗くて硬い極めて薄い綿布）を張ったもので、これに絵具を刷毛で塗り、版木に軽く押しつけて顔料を移す。 |
