Premium KADO ICHIKA Japanese Wagashi Silk Cloth - Authentic Handmade Kimono Fabric for Tea Ceremony, Gift Wrapping & Home Decor

The square handkerchief is primarily used in wagashi making as a soft, non-elastic  barrier in order to create natural curvatures.  Often you'd see wagashi artisans pressing a tool against a wagashi piece covered with the silk cloth, or wrapping and twisting it.  Organic looking lines thus emerge.

Material: 100% silk

Wagashi -- traditional Japanese sweets -- capture seasonality and imagery of nature in their aesthetics.  They are served before the bowl of matcha that concludes even the most elaborate kaiseki meal.  The specialty wagashi tools Gusta sources are from reputable makers.  They exhibit the craftsmanship that is respected also in wagashi making.
