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. 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 for its suppleness and ease of handling. m(_ _)m 【Size】 Standard size for a 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】 Made of genuine silk Yuki-tsumugi with a soft, plump texture. The fabric is leftover material from tailoring, and we have made use of the valuable descriptive text portion. It has a deep, earthy brown color unique to mud dyeing, which contains iron, and a Sarasa pattern is expressed using kiribame (appliqué). According to the descriptive text... It is based on the "Bi-dei no Some" (beautiful mud dye) technique, originating from Yuzensai, an artist who established Kyo-yuzen (Kyoto Yuzen dyeing), and the footsteps of Yuzen Noboru (a Kyoto Yuzen artist), a traditional craftsman. It is a rare design with a diverse and complex development, and it is more accurate to say that it is "baked." This is because "it is a modern dyeing method that brings the kiln changes of pottery to silk!" This fukusa is made supple and soft by intentionally not using interfacing, making it suitable 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 is new, there are no creases. When using it, decide which side is the front and fold it in quarters. Also, because it is large, it will be lightly folded in half to prevent creases during shipping. m(_ _)m 【Discounts for Multiple Purchases】 The first item is at the listed price + the second item is (listed price - 150 yen).
