Right material for kantei fukusa?

[Drago]

Hi,

 

what material should a fukusa used for holding a blade be made from? Cotton, pure silk, artificial silk?

 

And can Tea Ceremony fukusa be used?

 

I'd like to get a fukusa from Japan but need help for the material first. BEFORE you say anything: I know that perhaps an old clean cloth handkerchief and other things can be used, but for some things I'd like be g o with the traditional stuff. It is hard to use acetone on my blade for cleaning sometimes, but I won't go any further.

 

Thanks

can Tea Ceremony fukusa be used?

 

Yes, I think the sure silk fukusa for tea ceremony is the best.
