This is a "fukusa (silk cloth) for tea ceremony" (o^^o) This fukusa is used for fukusa sabaki (handling the silk cloth) to purify the natsume (tea caddy) and chashaku (tea scoop). It's also a fukusa that the okobisan (tea server) and hanto (assistant) 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 ceremony. When presenting a noshi-bukuro (ceremonial envelope) or a precious item to someone, it's elegant to lightly wrap it in this fukusa, then unfold the fukusa in front of the recipient to present it. We have carefully selected the fabric, with each one being supple and easy to handle. m(_ _)m 【Size】 Standard size for tea ceremony fukusa. Made from a pattern with finished dimensions of 27.5 cm (height) x 28.4 cm (width). Finished size is approximately 27cm x 28cm. Sewn without a knot. Please allow for slight size variations. 【Fabric】 Pure silk. The base color is a lovely cherry blossom gray with a pattern. It's a jumping pattern with elegantly expressed overlapping snow rings and plum blossoms. It's smooth and light. Snow Rings: Large snowfalls were thought to bring abundant meltwater, leading to a good harvest. Snow was also called the "spirit of the five grains" and was considered a symbol of good fortune. Also, wishing for a good harvest, it has been used since the Heian period as a symbol of a peaceful world. This is made to be supple and soft without interlining, for fukusa sabaki. Some people use it as a soft debukusa (a type of fukusa). (^_^)v Weight: 24g = approx. 6 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. 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 you buy. #marunMAruun fukusa for tea ceremony ← Click here to see a list of "fukusa (silk cloth) for tea ceremony" currently on sale!
