Chirimen Silk Crepe Fukusa, Shark-Skin Komon Lining, Purple
A fukusa is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth used to present a monetary gift envelope with proper etiquette at ceremonial occasions. This piece is made of chirimen (silk crepe) in a solid purple on the outside, while the lining is finished in a shark-skin komon (same-komon) pattern -- a classic, finely dotted Edo-period dye pattern named for its resemblance to sharkskin, not a literal shark motif. The contrast between the plain outer fabric and patterned lining gives the piece understated depth.
