Furoshiki is one of the traditional culture/life style which have been succeeded from ancient times,

FUROSHIKI are square shaped cloths used in Japan to wrap items and carry them. Being made of cloth, FUROSHIKI can be stored easily, are very light and can wrap many different kinds of shapes. For those reasons, FUROSHIKI are convenient for day-to-day needs. They can be used to wrap several small goods together or wrap one bulky item, like a wine bottle or a large sake bottle. In addition to these advantages, FUROSHIKI can just be washed like other cloths when they get dirty. Japanese re-acknowledged that FUROSHIKI are also environmentally friendly, they became even more popular.

This 70cm size furoshiki is a collaboration of Tukiyomi design and mashu with Art Saratetsu, a historic dyeing factory in Tokyo established in 1906. The geometric patterns of Edo taste, which have been passed down from generation to generation and kept carefully for many years, were collected and redesigned into a new, more ornate shape. At first glance, each pattern looks commonplace, but there is a subtle change in the expression of details. I dared to use a vivid color scheme in spite of the traditional pattern, and finished the three-color scheme with depth by subtle changes in the color of the raw material. It is also perfect as a substitute for a bag when you go out with kimono using the furoshiki ring.

In a wooden Gassho-zukuri factory that has been in Kyoto for 110 years, craftsmen continue to dye each furoshiki carefully, one by one, using the traditional technique of hand-dyeing.
