KAISHI - paper serviette for sweets

In the tea ceremony one uses small piles of carefully folded paper, as a kind of serviette, on which small sweets are served or to catch crumbs. They get their name (Kaishi) from the small paper packets (shi), which the Japanese used to carry in their Kimonos (Kai), so that by special meetings (kai) they could spontaneously write down poems, or stories.
