Title	Cloth for tea utensils with orange ground
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. Crafted in a gold and brilliant orange silk damask (donsu) fabric, this kobukusa exhibits floral and other motifs on a ground known as hishi manji.
