  • This beautifully embroidered gift cover (fukusa) depicts the legend of Jo and Uba. This couple had a long and happy life together. When they died their spirits occupied the pine trees on the island where they lived, and on moonlit nights they returned to human form in order to clear the forest floor. Jo raked in the good while Uba brushed away the bad. (en)
