This is a "fukusa (silk cloth) for tea ceremony" (o^^o) This fukusa is used for fukusa sabaki (handling the fukusa) to purify the natsume (tea caddy) and chashaku (tea scoop). It's also a fukusa that servers and hanto (assistants) always carry, tucked into their obi (sash) or at their waist. Feel free to use it to match your attire or the theme of the tea gathering. When presenting a noshi-bukuro (ceremonial envelope) or a precious item to someone, it's elegant to lightly wrap it in this fukusa and present it to them, unfolding the fukusa in front of them. We have carefully selected the fabric, aiming for suppleness and ease of handling. m(_ _)m 【Size】 Standard size for tea ceremony fukusa used in tea ceremony. Finished size: 27.5 cm (height) x 28.4 cm (width) based on the pattern. Finished size is approximately 27cm x 28cm. Sewn without a knot. Please allow for slight size variations. 【Fabric】 Pure silk. It's a fabric with a fine crepe texture featuring a tasteful "Setsugetsuka" (snow, moon, flowers) calligraphy design. A customer informed us that this font might be "Kinbun," one of the earliest forms of Chinese characters, alongside Tenshotai and Reishotai. This is also a font with an auspicious name ❤️ *Kinbun-tai is a type of Japanese font. It is a decorative font designed based on the decorative elements of Kinbun, an ancient Chinese character style. The base color is a subdued purple. Unlike other character komon (small pattern) fabrics, which often feature waka (Japanese poems) or hiragana characters, this "Setsugetsuka" is a rare material. This is a design of fabric that we hope you will use as a wonderful tool to convey Japanese traditional culture. This is made supple and soft without interlining for fukusa sabaki. Some people use it as a soft debukusa (tea cloth). (^_^)v Weight: 27g = approx. 7 monme (one monme is 3.75g) ❤️ Since it's new, there are no creases. When using it, decide which side is the front and fold it in quarters. Please note that because it is large, it will be lightly folded in half to prevent creases during shipping. m(_ _)m 【Discounts for Multiple Purchases】 1st item: Listed price + 2nd item: (Listed price - 150 yen) 3rd and 4th items will also be discounted by 150 yen. ♡ If you wish to purchase multiple items, we will create a dedicated listing for you, so please let us know which items you would like to purchase before making your purchase. #marunMAruun Fukusa for Tea Ceremony
