About Mau Primary Function: Ufungashaji wa Manukato

Mau ni muundo wa ufungashaji wa manukato ya nta yaliyochochewa na utamaduni wa Kijapani. Jina Mau linamaanisha kucheza dansi huku ukielea, na dhima yake ni ulaini na wepesi. Manukato haya yamehifadhiwa ndani ya mrija wa karatasi uliotengenezwa kwa washi, karatasi ya kitamaduni ya Kijapani. Mguso wa rangi ya maji juu ya washi unaonyesha tabia ya upole ya harufu. Manukato ya nta yana kiasi kidogo cha maji, hivyo kifungashio kinaweza kutengenezwa kwa karatasi pekee, bila plastiki. Harufu laini imekusudiwa kwa watu wanaoona manukato yanayotokana na kileo kuwa makali mno.
