Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that is used for carrying items, wrapping goods or presents. The added advantage is that you can wrap your furoshiki into a versatile bag by using our furoshiki rings or furoshiki patchins (sold separately).
Unlike a Tenugui, the edges of a furoshiki cloth are typically hemmed to prevent fraying. This stitching is not just for show, it’s also because in its regular daily use, the furoshiki may be exposed to rougher settings.
A furoshiki is used for things like carrying loads of books or protecting a tall glass sake bottle on its journey to a picnic in the park. The furoshiki was originally used in onsen culture, hence its name which is formed from the characters furo 風呂, bath, and shiki 敷, meaning spread, so to successfully transport larger items like clothes and washing products, the size of the furoshiki has become a little larger too.
*********
These simple circle and square designs create a beautiful mesh of overlapping colors. When using it as an eco-bag, the design changes depending on the way you wrap it.
Musubi made a Furoshiki out of 100 % organic cotton due to the rise of eco-friendly life styles. Organic cotton is certified to organic agricultural standards.
