A group of three Fukusa (gift covers)
exquisitely embroidered in gold thread
and floss silks and blue silk grounds.
The first, depicting a family mon
(crest) of an encircled iron war-fan
(possibly the Sogu family). The
second, with a double oak leaf mon,
enclosed on a gold octagonal border
(possibly the Miyoga family), and the
third with an array of scattered clam
shells, used in an early children's
game. Brandt Asian Art
