[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, old cloth] Chinese cloth, Shoba weave, pure silk, copy of Kobori Mado Shoba, made by Tsuchida Tomoko (one of the Ten Craftsmen of the Sen family, bag maker) (old cloth, old fukusa, old cloth)

The Ten Sen Craftsmen, Tsuchida Yuko, is an honorific title for ten craftsmen, including lacquerers and joiners, who are involved in the tea ceremony and frequent the three Sen schools (Omotesenke, Urasenke, and Mushakojisenke). During the Meiji period, the name was reorganized into the current ten craftsmen. (There is also a theory that the Mitsukoshi department store was the creator of the name during the Taisho period.)
Tsuchida Tomoko is a bag maker, and is the 12th generation (succeeded in 1965), who currently makes tea caddy covers, dress sashes, and square sashes for tea ceremony utensils.
----------
What is Shoha weaving? The fabric that Nomura Shoha loved to use is called "Shoha" weaving.
It is similar to dzure weaving, in that the weft threads wrap around the warp threads, and the pattern design and color scheme are woven only by the weft threads. Therefore, it has excellent flexibility and elasticity, and as a woven fabric, it is thin, light, and does not easily lose its shape.
There is a tea ceremony using Shobaori fabric.
