Also shizume ukibori ’Ύ‚ί•‚’€. Hollow relief carving. An inscription or motif hollowed out of a surface using a burin. Known also as low relief carving, shishiaibori “χ‡’€, when applied to metalwork. In metalwork the outlines of a design are inscribed on the surface, and then the surrounding areas are lightly hollowed out to leave the design upstanding in low relief. The level of the design is usually lower than the original metal surface. Sugiura Joui ™‰YζˆΣ (1701-61) is said to be the first Japanese artist to have used shishiaibori. In printmaking inkoku consists of carving out the outlines of a design on the printing block or plate, which are then expressed as white lines in the finished print. The opposite of inkoku is youkoku —z, where the design projects from the surface.
