There are stains, dirt, creases, and fold marks due to long-term storage. I am not familiar with Buddhist altar fittings, so I may be mistaken, but I believe this is a "Uchishiki." ✿ Uchishiki is read as "uchishiki" and is a type of decorative item placed on a Buddhist altar. It is a gorgeous cloth woven with gold brocade and is used by placing it under the tabletop of the altar. It is often used in Buddhist temples to decorate Buddhist statues and the Buddhist path, and is also called "Uchishiki," "Uchifu," or "Uchinuno." ✿ This is also called a "Kaku Uchishiki" and is a rectangular Uchishiki used in sects other than Jodo Shinshu and Zen sects. These are also generally made of woven fabrics using gold and silver threads, or with embroidery. The size used is the same as the width of the table. We appreciate your consideration if you can make use of this item. It will be folded in four to fit into A4 size for packaging. ※ Please forgive any folding creases due to storage and packaging. ※ Individual perceptions of smell vary, but as it has been stored in a chest of drawers for many years, there may be a storage odor. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. ※ I have tried to inspect it carefully, but as it is a layman's inspection, there may be something I have overlooked.
