[Pre-order] Kyoto mashu Handmade Furoshiki – Cranes & Turtles / 24-ken (90cm) 100% Cotton, Made in Japan

mashu is the original brand of furoshiki from Kyoto's Baba Dyeing Studio. Established in Fushimi, Kyoto, in the second year of the Taisho era (1913), all products are still meticulously hand-dyed by artisans using traditional katagami dyeing techniques, even a century later. This design features the traditional motif of "Cranes and Turtles," symbolizing marital harmony, longevity, and good fortune. It depicts cranes and turtles standing face-to-face, intimately accompanying each other in their daily lives, conveying an image of love, companionship, and sharing beautiful moments together. Adorning the background are traditional auspicious symbols: Pine, Bamboo, and Plum (The Three Friends of Winter): Representing resilience and good luck. Hōjin (Treasures): Symbolizing the profound wish to ward off misfortune and receive abundant luck and wealth. The design boldly employs a vibrant and distinctive color palette, creating a lively and bright visual effect that imbues the owner with an atmosphere of joy and happiness in their everyday life.
