Meibutsu Gire Patterns

In the world of the tea ceremony, utensils recognized as masterpieces by famous tea masters such as Sen no Rikyu are called "Meibutsu.” The cloth used to cover these tea utensils, such as shifuku and fukusas, is called meibutsu-gire, from which this pattern got its name.

The names of the patterns are unique, such as "gold brocade," "silver orchid," and " donsu," which are derived from the method used to weave the patterns, as well as the names of the tools and the people who owned the saki embroidered on the front.
