This is a kobukusa (small silk cloth) made from a famous Nishijin-ori fabric, which was originally from my family's old kimono shop. Kobukusa are tea utensils used in tea ceremonies, and are used when carrying tea or when receiving tea. Even those who do not practice the tea ceremony can use them as beautiful mats for ornaments or vases in their daily lives. It is a famous fabric with a pattern called "Dan-ori Botan Karusa" (stepped weave peony arabesque) made of 100% silk, Shoha weave. Shoha is a type of weave, characterized by its herringbone or mountain-shaped ground weave. Meibutsu-gire (famous fabric) refers to woven fabrics with a history and artistic value, each with a named pattern. They are familiar fabrics in the tea ceremony. 《Size》 Approx. 15 cm x 16 cm #tea ceremony #Urasenke #kobukusa #meibutsugire #Shoha
