Yotsu Karamatsu Bokashi Yuzen Silk Fukusa, Wakakusa Green | Kitamura Tokusai

This elegant Japanese tea ceremony fukusa by Kitamura Tokusai features a delicate Yotsu Karamatsu (Four Larch Motifs) design, beautifully enhanced by traditional Japanese Yuzen dyeing.

The soft Wakakusa (Young Grass Green) shade gradually fades into a gentle white through the traditional bokashi gradation technique. Subtle Karamatsu motifs add a refined decorative touch, creating a harmonious balance of color and pattern.

Inspired by the fresh green tones of spring, this graceful silk fukusa evokes a sense of renewal, tranquility, and natural beauty. Its understated elegance makes it especially appealing for spring and early summer tea gatherings, while its traditional design can be appreciated throughout the year.

Crafted in Kyoto by Kitamura Tokusai, this fukusa combines traditional Japanese textile artistry with the refined aesthetics of Chanoyu (the Way of Tea).

A fukusa is an essential silk cloth used in the Japanese tea ceremony, particularly during the ritual purification of tea utensils such as the natsume (tea caddy) and chashaku (tea scoop).
