Title	Tea cloth in green brocade
Description	Kobukusa are small, square, silk cloths placed between tea utensils and the hand or floor. They are sometimes used to protect the hands from heat when a non raku-style teabowl (e.g., Hagi, Karatsu, Ido) is chosen for thick tea (koicha) service. They may also be used as a respectful means to display utensils of special importance. The rich gold brocade (kinran) fabric of this kobukusa exhibits an arabesque pattern that incorporates flower, dragon, and phoenix motifs.
