Dashi-fukusa Cloth (O-meibutsu-gire) (Tea-things) (Kobana Monra)

Kobana Monra
It is a crest that expresses a plum blossom-style small flower pattern. The Luo technique, in which four warp threads are twisted as a unit, has a history dating back to BC in China, and has been handed down to the Ming Dynasty as one of the successive dyeing and weaving techniques. Although it prospered in Japan during the Nara period, it declined after the Heian period, and in the Muromachi period only a small number of ra were produced. In such a situation, it goes without saying that such a luo was prized. This is one of the five types of shifuku of 'Rikyu Mosso', and is described in 'Taisho Meikikan' as 'Roji Kakiiro'. It must have been mistaken for silk because it was thin. As the name suggests, it was originally a persimmon color, but in the restoration, it was left white so that you can appreciate the refreshing taste of the original "Ra".
