Japanese cloth for wrapping gifts or binding
The packaging becomes a gift.
A furoshiki is a piece of fabric that has been used in many different ways in Japan for more than 1,000 years. Wrapping things in fabric has a long tradition in Japan. Wrapping an object shows that you treat it with care and show respect to the recipient. It also corresponds to the mentality of using what little you have gratefully and sustainably - that is wise and creative at the same time, and promotes happiness and contentment. Quite logical, right?
Furoshikis have various uses. They are often used to package gifts in a valuable and sustainable way. The designs are often created in such a way that a special accent, such as a face, comes to the fore. Furoshikis can be tied in different ways. Let the illustrations and instructions inspire you!
In addition to their function as gift wrapping, Furoshikis can also be used as a small handbag or pouch – an effortless, individual accent to your outfit.
The motif belongs to the UKIYO-E series. This was created in the Edo period (江戸時代) and is considered art for locals. It focused on drawing daily life and seasonal landscapes without losing sight of the culture. UKIYO originally means "the rough and vulnerable world".
The name of the Furoshiki brand "MUSUBI" comes from "born (生す/musu)" and "beauty (美/bi)" in Japanese. In addition, "MUSUBI" means "knot" and "tie". MUSUBI produces and sells hundreds of different Furoshiki, which use various dyeing and weaving techniques such as double-sided dyeing.
