[Famous Fabrics] Precautions for Handling Small Items ★Except for gold and silver foils, silk is used, so color fading may occur due to friction or water exposure. Also, silk tends to yellow and have a shorter lifespan when exposed to ultraviolet light. Please be careful of prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and fluorescent light. ★When storing small items, avoid damp or poorly ventilated places. Sweat and moisture can cause discoloration and mold. ★When storing, please be careful not to let plastic bags, moth repellents, or scented bags come into direct contact with the items, and do not use more than one type of moth repellent at the same time. ★The gold and silver foils used in the small items may discolor if they come into contact with sulfur-containing materials (such as rubber bands). ★Do not use light-heat or steam irons, as they will damage the gold and silver foils.

When using, allow it to air dry in the shade for several hours to allow body heat and moisture to dissipate. Even if not in use, air dry it in the shade twice a year, in spring and autumn, on a sunny day with low humidity. ★If dirt or stains occur, please consult a dry cleaner or a professional stain removal service. ◎Do not wash at home.

It is a small piece of cloth, about 5.3 inches wide and 5 inches long, used in tea ceremonies such as those of the Urasenke school. It is a small piece of cloth used to place or lay under tea utensils when viewing tea utensils, carrying prepared tea, or when receiving tea as a guest. There may be slight variations in size.
