Description
This item is useful as an interior decoration item to add color to a space by laying it on the center of a long table such as a parlor set or dining table. Both ends are tasseled with carefully undyed colored threads, making it a very beautiful piece of work.
The textile used is called Keikin, which expresses colors and patterns by the ups and downs of the threads, using a weaving technique found in the ancient sakis owned by Shosoin and Horyuji temples.
It is lightweight and not bulky, making it an ideal gift for people overseas. Also available in a paulownia wood box, it can be used as a gift of a higher grade.
This product is made to order. Please allow approximately 2 weeks for shipping.

Kamon Ungen Nishiki(Ungen Brocade of Flowers Design)
Among some of the brocades called“Ungen”, meaning stripes shaded in various colors, the original from which the design with floral motives is adapted is the one used for the hem cloth of a rug which is registered as“ a white twill with design of a flowering tree and paired sheep and paired phoenixes”. Although this original cloth is a weft-patterned brocade, our adaptation is woven as a warppatterned textile.
The four-petalled floral motives of green are arranged on the vertical stripes in purple and red, and the six-petalled floral motives of purple and red on those in white. The diapers made up of tiny dots are strewn all over the design.
This is a very delicate brocade which preserves the genuine fee ling of Shosoin repository in the 8th century Japan.
