This is a "de-bukusa" (a type of silk cloth) used by the host during the preparation of "o-koicha" (thick tea) and for displaying incense containers, folded in quarters. It is the same size as the "fukusa" (silk cloth) used for tea preparation, but it is made from slightly stiff fabrics such as pongee, obi fabric, or kinran-donko (brocade). We hope you will use it according to your preference in various schools of tea ceremony. It can also be used as a mat regardless of the school. Please make your own judgment regarding its suitability based on the "preferences" or "customs" of your specific school. m(_ _)m 【Size】 Standard de-bukusa size Made from a pattern with finished dimensions of 27.5 cm in length and 28.4 cm in width. It is sewn using the traditional method without knotting the thread. Please allow for slight size variations. It is approximately three times larger than the "ko-bukusa" (small silk cloth) of the Urasenke school, and the amount of fabric is four times that of the "chitosebon-yo ko-bukusa" (small silk cloth for the Chitosebon tray). 【Fabric】 Made by cutting a silk obi (sash). It is slightly stiff and firm, but it has a sense of weight as a de-bukusa fabric. A Genjiko pattern is woven in a pale wisteria color on a light lavender background. The woven luster changes color depending on the viewing angle, appearing whitish or dark, and the Genjiko pattern seems to float and sink. Since de-bukusa materials often use obi fabric, the pattern will be horizontal when the "wa" (folded edge) is on the right. However, because this piece uses a silk obi as its material, the pattern does not become horizontal because the "wa" part is effectively utilized. One side is plain, which reduces the thickness and makes it easier to handle. Since it is used for o-koicha and incense container displays, we have selected designs with beautiful weaves and patterns that have a topic or story when viewed. We finished it without applying a core for ease of handling. ❤️Since it is new, there are no creases. When using it, decide which side is the front and fold it in quarters. Please note that because it is large, it will be lightly folded in half for shipping to prevent creases. m(_ _)m 【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, we will create a dedicated listing for you, so please let us know which items you would like to purchase before making your purchase. #marun-ShinAruunDeBukusa
