About "Shoba Ori" By Kitamura Tokusai Aya Shōzetsu Ori is a type of woven fabric that uses various colored warp and weft threads to weave patterns in a twill weave style, and is a type of weft brocade. Using two shuttles, it displays the ground weave and patterns on both sides (therefore, the patterns and ground colors of general Shoki are reversed), and regardless of the ground or pattern, it organizes a herringbone pattern (also called yamamichi) with weft yamamichi twill. This organization was once called futsuki (wind passage) and was used as part of the name of the fabric, but it is more desirable to classify it as Shoki. Shoki is also called "shoba." There are various characters used, all of which are phonetic equivalents. The correct character is currently unknown, but there is a theory that it originated from the fabric that the renga poet Satomura Joha (1524-1602) possessed. - Contents: Tea ceremony fukusa (silk cloth) - Design: Green and white checkered pattern, gold pattern - Colors: Green, white, blue, and brown color scheme - Material: Fabric (details unknown) - Accessories: Instruction manual, box Thank you for viewing.
