This is a "fukusa (silk cloth) for tea ceremony" (o^^o) This is a fukusa used for fukusa sabaki (handling the silk cloth) to purify the natsume (tea caddy) and chashaku (tea scoop). It's a fukusa that servers and hanto (assistants) always carry, tucked into their obi (sash) or at their waist. Please 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. Finished size: 27.5 cm (height) x 28.4 cm (width) based on the pattern. Approximately 27cm x 28cm when finished. Sewn without a knot. Please allow for slight size variations. 【Fabric】 Pure silk. It's a very soft and supple material, making it easy for beginners to handle. It's purple, but a shade close to Edo purple, with a scattered floral pattern woven in, making it suitable for both men and women. The material is unused remnant fabric from tailoring. Also, because it's a soft material, it can also be used as a wrapping fukusa. How about using it for practice in the tsutsumi-bakusa (wrapping fukusa) tea procedure? This is made supple and soft without interlining, specifically for fukusa sabaki. Some people use it as a soft de-bakusa (decorative silk cloth). (^_^)v Weight: 26g = approximately 7 monme (one monme is 3.75g) ❤️Since it's new, there are no creases. When using it, decide on the front side and fold it in quarters. Also, because it's 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. #marun-ma-ru-n-o-temae-yo-no-o-fukusa
