??Fukusa (Ceremonial Cloth) / Wet Swallow

Purchased several decades ago.
It has been stored at home as I have had no opportunity to use it.

It is clean with no stains, but there is a slight discoloration on the back. This is a long-term home-stored item.

This is a fukusa (silk cloth) used in tea ceremony and for formal occasions such as weddings and funerals.
With its name Nuretsubame (wet swallow) inscribed on the lid of the box, and its elegant colors and design, it is a valuable craft item as an accessory with a traditional Japanese aesthetic or as a gift. In tea ceremony, it is used for cleaning utensils and also for wrapping envelopes in formal situations.

Bulk purchase with other items is also possible!
Thank you for looking.
