An embroidered silk, Japanese kagamikake (traditional mirror cover). In Japan, this is used by the Japanese to cover a mirror, as they believe that mirrors can not only ward off evil spirits but can also attract them, so, in traditional Japanese homes, they cover their mirrors when not in use. Geisha still use them
Red with embroidered paulownia, cranes and wave. The wave is beautifully embroidered in gold and silver
