Hand wash cold



I recently ordered a set of samue. Samue is a style of street clothing for Zen monks. This tiny piece of printed rice paper came tucked into the garment. I have no idea what it says, and for that very reason, I find it quite charming.

I imagine it could be laundry instructions. Maybe it says "Inspected by No. 12."

It reminds me that, with only a change in perspective, the most ordinary things take on inexpressible beauty.
