The Three Great Beauties of Edo— This piece portrays three top beauties of the Kansei era (1789-1801): Tomimoto Toyohina, Nanba-ya Okita, and Takashima-ya O-hisa. 【Mica Print (Glow) Effect】 Emphasis is placed on recreating the intricate details found in Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The original works utilized a technique called mica printing, where mica powder (or shell powder) was applied over the pigments to fill the background, creating a subtle sheen. The Furoshiki replicates this technique with a pearlescent finish, mimicking the effect of mica powder. When wrapped, the fabric shimmers, adding a touch of brilliance and sophistication. 【Practicality Meets Aesthetics: 48cm】 Everyday Use: You can use these as wraps for your daily lunch boxes, as book covers, or for elegant gift packaging.
