Furoshiki

COTTON FUROSHIKI

Furoshiki date back to the Nara period (710 - 794).
Furoshiki were frequently used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods.
Today, furoshiki are used for wrapping and carrying a Bento lunchbox, as a table mat, and other
various decorations. Because Furoshiki are a good substitute for a plastic shopping bag,
they're great for the environment.
Enjoy furoshiki for sewing, quilting, decoration, wrapping, gift, and tapestry.

Furoshiki are traditional Japanese wrapping cloths. 'Furo' is from the word for bath and 'shiki' is a thing that is spread on the ground. In the Edo Period, from the 17th to 19th century, furoshiki were used to wrap the clean clothes in, carried the just worn clothes home, and in between, were spread on the bath house floor to stand on while changing.
