    Description

    Hello.  I found a number of items in an estate lot and after some digging I think I have figured out enough to make this little set.  I have no idea of the age of any of these items, and one booklet of paper is very yellowed.
    The pouch unfortunately is damaged.  It is a cloth covered cardboard (or something like that) that's folded and laced up on both sides with orange cord.  It has pink and gold patterned cloth outside and is divided into two sections, the larger is lined with orange cloth and contains a matching doubled and sewn orange cloth, just about 11" square, that I think is a Fukusa, and looks to have never been used.  The other section is shallower and contains a small gold & white brocade pouch holding a single little sort of hatchet knife I believe is a Youji.  One side of the pouch is damaged, a chunk is missing and a piece near that broken with the lacing holding it.  Otherwise it seems clean and the rest of it's in good condition.  6" by 4 " and about 1/2" thick
    Two Tea Whisks, one is in a plastic tube, the other is in a cardboard box.  Both look the same and neither look to have been used,
    There is a packages of paper, in an outer wrapper ( including another that has no wrapper and pretty yellowed).  The sheets come folded, I think, pack is 5-3/4" by3-1/2".
    One Tea Bowl.  Its sort of a light green kind of dripping glaze on the outside.  The glaze is pretty crackled on the inside, the outside has a couple of cracks that don't go through, and look to have been done when it was made. And a little raised clump at the bottom of the bowl.  5" across the top and 3-1/2" tall.  I have no idea when this was made, maybe fairly modern, has a number in blue on the bottom rim, might be a date but not enough numbers, can't really figure it out.
    6 various bamboo place mats.  2 are sealed, blue and red.  A green and a red one are open, the green has a group of pulled stings in one spot.  2 unwrapped ones are plain.  None of the open look to have been used.
    All the mats have purple ties with white picks on the end.
    Tan ones are roughly: 11-1/2 square and 11-1/2 by 15"
    Red & Green - 17" x 12"
    Blue & Red ones that are still in plastic wrap, I don't know the length, but width is 12"
    I apologize if I've gotten the names wrong.
