This is a kobukusa (small silk cloth) made from a famous Nishijin-ori textile that was at my family's former kimono shop. Kobukusa are tea ceremony utensils used in tea ceremonies, such as when carrying tea or when receiving tea. Even those who don't practice tea ceremony can use them beautifully as placemats for ornaments or vases in their daily lives. It is a famous textile with a "Dan Mole" pattern, made of 100% silk, woven in the Shoba style. Shoba is a type of weaving, characterized by its herringbone or mountain-shaped patterns. Meibutsu-gire (famous textiles) are historically significant textiles with artistic value, each with a named pattern. They are familiar fabrics in the world of tea ceremony.
