This chashaku, with its central node, is a classic example of the informal (so) style. It is accompanied by a silk brocade cover (fukuro) - part of a set of fabric covers (shifuku) designed for chabako. The brocade pattern is known as setsugekka shippo kinran and presents motifs of snow, moon, and flower in the shippo pattern. This particular fabric design was favored by the 14th generation Urasenke master Tantansai (1893-1964).
