裂地（きれじ）
The distinctions may be a bit arbitrary, but for this page, I divide the 裂地 into:
- 緞子, which are subdued, with coloured threads
- 金蘭, which are more garish, with actual gold threads
- 間道, which are striped
For now, all fabrics listed here are 名物裂（めいぶつぎれ）by some account or another. There are other patterns, of course, and some I list under symbols if they also occur on other 道具.
While I try to find examples from my own collection or those of fellow 茶人, some come from verdure and 37gi.
