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.
*********
This is one of the most iconic Japanese artwork. The breathtaking composition with the cresting wave and Mt. Fuji expresses stillness and movement. Also is indeed so famous that European artist Debussy and Vincent van Gogh were inspired by this masterpiece. Ukiyo-e is one of the traditional arts of Japan. It had a great artistic influence overseas in the late 1800s. The design will give a new face to any object that is being wrapped.
