This is a Kobukusa (old silk cloth). Please use it when serving matcha or as a mat. 【Cloth】 It is made of genuine silk Yuki-tsumugi with a soft and gentle texture. The material of the fabric is leftover from tailoring. It has a deep, brownish color unique to mud dyeing, which contains iron, and a Sarasa pattern is expressed with Kiribame (cut-out technique). According to the description... It is a rare design that originates from Yuzensai, an artist who established Kyo-yuzen, and the footsteps of Yuzen Noboru (Kyo-yuzen artist), a traditional craftsman. It is described as being diverse and complex, and it is more accurate to say that it is baked on. This is because "it is a modern dyeing method that utilizes the kiln changes of pottery on silk!" As it is a Kobukusa, I have applied a core to give it a crisp finish. 【Size】 The traditional size of Kobukusa used in the Urasenke school of tea ceremony. Some people also use it in Kodo (incense ceremony). Finished size: Made with a pattern of 5 sun (15.2cm) x 5 sun 3 bu (16.3cm), but please allow for some slight errors. 【Sewing Method】 Three sides are sewn, and the short side of 5 sun is "wa" (folded edge). There are no knot beads. ❤️ Since it is new, there is no crease in the center. When using it folded in half, place the "wa" on the right side, choose your favorite side as the front, and fold it in half. 【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 purchase multiple items, I will create a dedicated listing for you, so please let me know which items you would like to purchase before you buy. #mrn古帛紗一覧
