Designer's words “The design focuses on strong geometric shape and pattern and derives directly from my hand printed artworks.

It can be used in multiple ways, for bundling or gift-wrapping all sorts of things. We think this particular lighter-weight furoshiki works well for more delicate wrapping and perfectly as a scarf, and it softens up the more you wear and wash it. One simple and beautiful piece of cloth and the list is endless. Tie it and see! Printing process Each of our products has been hand printed in Japan, using traditional printing techniques. We are working with a great printing company called Maeda Senko bases in Kyoto, Japan.
