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 noshibukuro (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, aiming for 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 at the end of the thread. Please allow for slight size variations. 【Fabric】 Made of silk. The fabric features a bright yellow-green background with a woven pattern of "iriko-bishi" (nested diamond) and beautifully designed camellia flowers in a gradient of red. It's a stylish and unique piece. Due to the age of the material, which appears to be antique, there is some unavoidable yellowing (though not very noticeable) during production (see image). Please understand. However, the design is so wonderful that it overcomes the yellowing. It's a rare and unusual color and pattern. Please, someone, enjoy using it. This is made without interfacing for a supple and soft finish, specifically for fukusa-sabaki. Some people use it as a soft debukusa (a type of silk cloth). Weight: 28g = approximately 7 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. Since it's 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).
