*''Japanese'': 名物裂 ''(meibutsu gire)''
''Meibutsugire'', or famous scraps, were pieces of brocade, damask, and other lavish imported textiles which were treasured by [[Edo period]] [[tea ceremony]] practitioners. Most were either Chinese textiles from the [[Yuan dynasty|Yuan]] or [[Ming dynasty|Ming]] dynasties, or Indian textiles imported more recently (in the 17th-18th centuries). Tea practitioners compiled ''kogirechô'' scrapbooks of such textiles, which they then used as references when selecting or reusing cloths as ''[[furoshiki]]'' or for use otherwise in the tea ceremony practice.
A particularly famous example of such ''kogirechô'' is ''Record of Distinguished Objects of Past and Present'', compiled by [[Matsudaira Fumai]] and reproduced in a [[printing and Publishing|woodblock-printed form]] in [[1789]] to [[1797]].
