This is a "debukusa" (a type of silk cloth used in tea ceremony) used by the host, such as for the preparation of "o-koicha" (thick tea) or for displaying the incense container after folding it in quarters. While the size is the same as the "fukusa" (silk cloth) used for tea preparation, it is made from slightly stiffer fabrics like tsumugi (pongee), obi fabric, or kinran-donko (brocade). We hope you will find it useful in various schools of tea ceremony, according to your preferences. It can also be used as a mat regardless of the school. Please understand that the suitability of its use depends on your own judgment, based on the "preferences" or "customs" of your school. m(_ _)m 【Size】 Standard debukusa size. Finished size: 27.5 cm (length) x 28.4 cm (width), made from a pattern. Sewn using the traditional method without a knot at the end of the thread. Please allow for slight size variations. Compared to the kobukusa (small silk cloth) of the Urasenke school, it is about 3 times larger, and the amount of fabric is 4 times that of the kobukusa for the Chitosebon tray. 【Fabric】 Pure silk, famous fabric, Enshu Shippo (Enshu Shippo pattern). This is a slightly more vibrant version. Made from high-quality, supple obi fabric, finished without interfacing. When I first saw this pattern, my heart fluttered "Kyun❣️". Knowing that this was the "Enshu Shippo" favored by Enshu (Kobori Enshu), I was captivated by the refined aesthetic of Enshu. This is a piece I want you to keep by your side and cherish, regardless of your school or path. *Enshu Shippo: This pattern, called Enshu-donko, was favored by Kobori Enshu, who became a master of tea ceremony after passing through the hands of Rikyu, Oribe, and Sekishu. It is famous as a pattern of famous fabrics. The stylized chrysanthemums, karahana (Chinese flowers), peonies, and shippo (seven treasures) patterns are woven within a stone pavement pattern. Since it is used for o-koicha and displaying incense containers, I chose designs with beautiful weaves and patterns that have a story to tell when viewed. For ease of handling, it is finished without interfacing. ❤️Since it is 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 for shipping to prevent creases. 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. #marun-ShinAruunDebukusa
