Takuhan - Takuhan

Japanese: 拓版 - たくはん
Takuhan - Takuhan
A relief printing technique in which paper is placed over an uneven object and then rubbed with a pencil or crayon, or tapped with a pad soaked in ink or paint, to copy the shape. In China, it was commonly used to copy inscriptions on monuments from the 2nd century onwards. In Europe, it was also used from the end of the Middle Ages to copy inscriptions on monuments and graves in churches. In modern times, M. Ernst used this technique in his collection of works, Natural History, and it has since become a creative technique in modern painting under the name of frottage. [Sakamoto Mitsuru]

Japanese:
凹凸のある物体に紙をのせて上から鉛筆,クレヨンなどで摩擦し,あるいは墨,絵具を含ませたたんぽでたたくなどして形を写し取る凸版の一技法。中国では2世紀以後,碑銘を写すために常用された。ヨーロッパでも中世末から教会内の碑銘や墓碑銘を写し取るのに用いられた。現代ではM.エルンストが作品集《博物誌》にこの技法を用い,以後フロッタージュの名称で現代絵画の一造形技法となっている。【坂本 満】
