About silkscreen prints:
Japan was one of the first Asian countries to create recognizable forms of screenprints. They first used stenciling techniques (such as the art of katagami) to create imagery onto fabric using paper and mesh that was woven from human hair. These techniques evolved over time into more advanced forms of screenprinting, allowing them to create more complex forms.
To create a silkscreen, the artist starts by affixing a fine fabric onto a frame. Using a stencil-adjacent technique, areas which are intended to be printed are left uncovered, whereas the areas that are not to be printed are sealed. The artist then uses a squeegee to push the ink through the fabric onto the desired material. To add different colors and textures to a create a singular, cohesive piece, artists often employ the use of multiple silkscreens. Through the layering process of the different screens, an artist can create an array of different colors expanding well beyond a standard color pallet.
