Mens size Kaishi, Rice Paper for Tea Ceremony

Men’s Kaishi (Japanese Pocket Paper)
Kaishi are small sheets of high‑quality washi paper carried in the front kimono pocket and used during the Japanese tea ceremony and other formal occasions. The men’s version is typically:

• Slightly larger than the women’s (about 15 × 18 cm / 6 × 7 inches).

• Plain white and un‑patterned, reflecting the more understated men’s style.

Uses include placing sweets, wiping the tea bowl rim, or discreetly blotting the lips or fingertips. After use, the sheet is folded and kept for disposal later, emphasizing cleanliness and etiquette.
