Luxurious woven "de-bukusa" (tea cloth) with a rare landscape pattern. Primarily used in the Omotesenke school of tea ceremony, this approximately 28-29cm square silk cloth is made from famous textiles like kinran (gold brocade) or donsu (satin damask) and is presented with the tea bowl when serving thick tea or when examining tea utensils. It is not used for cleaning, but rather for protecting the tea bowl, for appreciation, and for a gorgeous presentation, and is chosen according to the season and the occasion. 27cm x 27cm Originally a very expensive item, this is an unused deadstock item, but there are two stains on the front and back (see photos), so it is being sold as a junk item. It appears to be old, and the box also shows some scratches.
