This is a "debukusa" (a type of silk cloth used in tea ceremony) used by the host for the thick tea procedure, displaying the incense container after folding it in quarters, and other purposes. It is the same size as the fukusa (silk cloth) used for the tea procedure, but it is made of 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 the "preferences" or "customs" of each school, and is at the discretion of the purchaser. m(_ _)m 【Size】 Standard debukusa 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 about 3 times larger than the kobukusa (small silk cloth) of the Urasenke school, and the amount of fabric is 4 times that of the kobukusa for the Chitosebon (a type of tea tray). 【Fabric】 Pure silk, meibutsu-gire (famous fabric) Enshu Shippo (Enshu Shippo pattern). This is a slightly subdued version with a deep color. It is made from high-quality, supple obi fabric and finished without interlining. When I first saw this pattern, my heart fluttered "kyun❣️". Knowing that this was the "Enshu Shippo" favored by Enshu, I, the maker, was captivated by the refined aesthetic of Enshu. I hope you will keep it by your side and cherish it, regardless of your school or path; it is a unique and exquisite item. *Enshu Shippo: This pattern, called Enshu-donko, was favored by Kobori Enshu, who became a master of tea ceremony after passing through Rikyu, Oribe, and Sekishu. It is famous as a pattern of meibutsu-gire. The stylized chrysanthemums, karahana (Chinese flowers), peonies, and shippo (seven treasures) patterns are woven within the ishidatami (stone pavement) pattern. Since it is used for thick tea and displaying incense containers, I chose designs with beautiful weaves and patterns that have a story to tell when viewed. For ease of handling, it is finished without interlining. ❤️Since it is new, there are no creases. When using it, decide which side is the front and fold it in quarters. Also, because it is large, it will be lightly folded in half when shipped 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. #marunMAARUUN debukusa
