Features
Layered Japanese weaving: a repeating pattern of family crests within a check, understated and easy to live with, at home in Japanese or Western settings.
A small pouch, 9 × 7.5 cm, sized for a natsume-shaped chaire, an incense container, prayer beads or jewellery.
Handmade with a round base that stands up: the pouch stands on its own and keeps its shape rather than collapsing.
An easy drawstring: a fresh green accent, smooth to pull and holding well.
Flexible in use: beyond the tea ceremony it can hold earrings, rings, prayer beads or amulets, or serve as gift wrapping.
Protective storage: the soft fabric wraps the object and reduces scratches and knocks.
Easy to carry: light and small, it can be taken to an outdoor tea gathering or on a journey.
Good on display: with a wooden tray, tatami or a tea cloth it gives photographs a sense of ceremony.
Easy to clean: the fabric is hard-wearing, and everyday dust can simply be brushed off.
Good for beginners: a practical entry piece among tea utensils, and equally suitable as a reusable gift bag.
