Pure Silk Uroko Karahana Fūchō Fukusa (Ceremonial Cloth) - Tea Ceremony Utensil by Kitamura Tokusai - Heisei Era

Kobukusa (ceremonial cloth)
Made of pure silk (shouken) with a scale and karahana (flower) pattern, woven through.

Found while tidying up my room.

As mentioned in the listing, I own several matcha tea bowls and this was stored with them.

I do not practice the tea ceremony or have any involvement with tea, so I am selling it.

It is likely 100% pure silk.
This is not a recent purchase; it is a vintage item that is many decades old.

A box is included, but due to its age, it has scuffs, scratches, dirt, and stains.
I have no information about its actual use or specific details.
Please assume there are scratches and dirt as it is a used and old item.
The box and a paper slip are included, but I am unsure if this constitutes a complete set.
There is only one piece of paper.

In my personal, amateur opinion, the box is quite damaged, but the item itself appears to be in good condition.
It was in a plastic bag, so it is highly likely unused.
However, the seal was not closed, so it could have been taken out and used; I cannot be sure.
The plastic bag is dirty, so I plan to discard it before shipping. However, if you don't mind the dirt, I can leave it as is.

I have researched and written the product description to the best of my ability, but I am not an expert, so there is a possibility of errors.

Please only purchase if you understand and accept these conditions.

I will answer any questions I can and provide additional photos if requested.
I would like you to make your own judgment.

The price includes tracked, anonymous shipping.
