  • Fukusa (gift cover), tapestry-weave silk velvet, with decoration of cockerel, hen and three chicks, Japan, 1860-1880. Tex, Japan, velvet (en)
  • This textile cover is called a ‘fukusa’. Traditionally in Japan, gifts were placed in a box on a tray, over which a fukusa was draped. The choice of a fukusa appropriate to the occasion was an important part of the gift-giving ritual. The richness of the decoration was an indication of the donor’s wealth, while the quality of the design was evidence of his or her taste and sensibility. The motif of a cock, hen and three chicks symbolise a family living in harmony. The woven seals on the left are those of the famous painter Maruyama Ôkyo (1733-1795) which suggest this design was derived from one of his works. (en)
  • Fukusa (gift cover) of tapestry-weave silk velvet (tsuzure birôdo), a complex and time-consuming technique in which extra, different coloured, pile warps create the pattern. The design is of a cockerel, hen and chicks in muted tones of black, brown, blue and white. There are seals woven into the cover on the left, and the border contains paulownia motifs. (en)
