Kyoto Furoshiki Wrap - katakata Two-panel - Cats and Birds - Pink

【Kyoto Furoshiki Wrap: katakata Cats and Birds】 In Japan before modern times, black cats were revered as "Maneki-neko" (beckoning cats), symbolizing protection against evil, good fortune, and prosperity in business. Birds, too, were considered auspicious symbols for business prosperity as they were believed to "lure customers." The artist has skillfully combined these two elements to create a pattern brimming with stories and well wishes. 【About the Artists: kata kata】 The unique designs on this furoshiki are by the kata kata duo, stencil dyeing artists from Japan. Comprised of Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai, they specialize in traditional techniques like "kata-zome" (stencil dyeing) to create works on fabric and paper. Their signature style is characterized by the warmth of handmade craftsmanship, and they share their creations through numerous exhibitions and joint shows. Their designs are not only beloved in Japan but also popular internationally, making them a key collaborative series for Musubi. 【The Origin and Charm of Furoshiki】 "Furoshiki" (風呂敷) are traditional wrapping cloths originating from Japan's Muromachi period, which have evolved into an eco-friendly, stylish, and ingenious cultural symbol. They can replace traditional paper bags and, through various tying methods, transform into unique tote bags, gift wraps, or home decor, showcasing your creativity and taste. 【Product Specifications】 Material: Cotton Size: 70cm x 70cm Origin: Kyoto, Japan 【Washing and Care Instructions】 ・Machine washable or hand washable ・Iron safe 【Precautions】 ※Items such as socks, handkerchiefs, towels, and scarves are personal wear.
