This is a "debukusa" (a type of silk cloth) used by the host during the preparation of "o-koicha" (thick tea) or for displaying the incense container after folding it in four. It is the same size as the "fukusa" (silk cloth used for tea ceremony) for tea preparation, but it is made from slightly stiffer fabrics such as tsumugi (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 understand that the suitability of use depends on your own judgment based on the "preferences" or "customs" of your school. m(_ _)m 【Size】 General debukusa size Finished dimensions: 27.5 cm long and 28.4 cm wide, made from a pattern. The short side is a "fold." It is sewn in the traditional way without a knot. Please allow for slight size variations. Compared to the kobukusa (small silk cloth) of the Urasenke school, it is about 3 times larger, and the amount of fabric is 4 times that of the Chitosebon-yo kobukusa. 【Fabric】 Pure silk. The material is thin and light but has a moderate stiffness, obi fabric. It is finished without a core for ease of handling. It does not become bulky when folded in eight. Carp: In China, carp are said to become dragons after climbing the Ryumon rapids, and are respected as a fish of success. In Japan, carp streamers are flown on Children's Day and are popular. (From a book) Since it is used for o-koicha and incense container display, we have selected designs with beautiful weaves and patterns that have a story or topic 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 on the front side and fold it in four. Please note that due to its size, 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) The same 150 yen discount applies to the 3rd and 4th items. ♡If you are purchasing 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-ShinAruun-debukusa
