The Emptea Sei is a deep green fukusa, crafted from pure silk and essential for Japanese tea ceremonies. Artisans in Kyoto skillfully create this cloth using high-quality Niigata silk and the traditional Yuzen dyeing technique. Designed to purify utensils and examine tea equipment, the fukusa's ideal thickness allows for graceful folding, reflecting both beauty and functionality. Its even, deep green color, reminiscent of fresh tea leaves, is achieved without dye bleeding around the logo.

Authentically crafted and shipped from Japan.

First batch pre-orders will begin shipping around late October. 
Expect delivery within 2-7 days after shipping.

Details

Unique Features: Made from high-quality silk, perfectly weighted for easy handling. The dyeing process results in an even, deep green color, showcasing the logo with clarity.
Artisan Craftsmanship:
The Yuzen method, traditionally used for kimonos, involves artisans mixing custom dyes to achieve the perfect green shade. This intricate process requires exceptional skill, demonstrating their expertise and dedication.
Role in Sado - The Japanese Tea Ceremony: The fukusa, worn from the host's obi, is vital in the tea ceremony. Key rituals like "fukusa-sabaki" (intricate folding) and "kiyomeru" (purifying utensils) symbolize the host’s respect for tradition and guests, purifying both utensils and spirit.

Care Instructions

Handle gently, keeping the sewn edge ("wasa") to the right when open. Shake off matcha powder after use to prevent mold. Air dry away from sunlight. Never wash or wet the fukusa. Proper care develops its unique character over time, enhancing the tea experience.
