Japanese Embroidered Fabric

' Fukusa '

' Longevity '

Specialist artisan-made tea ceremony Fabric.
Brocade gold embroidered with corner tassles.
The reverse is decorated with a stylish '100 Cranes' (Tsuru)
design, also representing longevity.

' Kobukusa '
Similar to a Fukusa but of richer and thicker, brocaded and patterned fabric.
In the Urasenke school, both the host and guests each carry one.
If wearing kimono, it is kept in the breast of the kimono.
The Kobukusa is sometimes used by guests to protect
the tea implements whilst examining them.
Depending on the circumstances, the host may put one out with the tea.
