This is a Kobukusa (old silk cloth). Please use it when serving matcha or as a mat. 【Cloth】 Genuine silk, Honba Doroo-Oshima Tsumugi, Tatsugo, Red Ball The unique luster of Tatsugo is magnificent. Please take a look and enjoy the wonderful weave and its brilliance. *About Tatsugo The finest Oshima Tsumugi, famous in Tatsugo Town, Amami Oshima. Its weaving features are "Sugiaya-ori" representing the cycad plant and a design expressing the pattern of the habu snake's back. It is often dyed with colors such as red ball, yellow ball, and green ball (rare). Some do not have Sugiaya-ori. What Tatsugo has in common is the luster of the woven pattern, the suppleness of the cloth, and the unique texture and color of mud dyeing. I have proposed this Kobukusa because I want to share "Tatsugo's skillful techniques and designs" with more people. Please use it with affection and pass on the traditional culture of Japan. m(_ _)m 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 errors. 【Sewing method】 Three sides are sewn, and the short side of 5 sun is "wa" (folded). There are no knot balls. ❤️Since it is new, there is no crease in the center. When using it folded in half, place the "wa" on the right side, decide which side you like to be 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, so please let me know which items you would like to purchase before purchasing. #mrn古帛紗一覧
