This elegant chirimen (silk crepe) fukusa, dating to the early to mid-Meiji period (1868–1900), is a refined example of celebratory textile art. Measuring 16 inches by 16 inches (41 cm x 41 cm), the gift cover features a sophisticated yuzen-dyed composition on a muted moss-green ground.
The primary motif is a large sake jar (tokkuri), decorated with a traditional seigaiha (wave) pattern on its lower half and a bamboo leaf design on its shoulder. Resting against the jar is an ornate, dark-patterned cloth cover tied with a golden silk cord, alongside a small sake cup. The reverse side of the fukusa bears a large, hand-painted kanji symbol for 'fuku' (fortune or luck), reinforcing its purpose as a cover for auspicious gifts. Despite slight age-related staining, the piece remains in good condition.
