This is one of the props often used in Japanese traditional dance. Tenkou (Crimson) Silk Wrapped Letter: The outermost layer shows slight yellowing and soiling, but as this part fits within the palm of the hand when held, it should not be a problem. The second layer inward is clean and in beautiful condition. It's an essential item for scenes where love letters are read. Approximately 2.4 meters long. This is the last of the three silk wrapped letters I had. Japanese dance props are difficult to find these days, so why not take this opportunity?
