Kyoto Furoshiki Wrapping Cloth - COCHAE Medium Size - Okame & Hyottoko

【Kyoto Furoshiki Wrapping Cloth: COCHAE Okame & Hyottoko】 Featuring the traditional Japanese lucky characters Okame (the "ugly woman") and Hyottoko (the "ugly man"). Okame, also known as Otafuku, is a charm that brings good fortune, as her name suggests. Hyottoko depicts a person blowing through a bamboo pipe, a variation of "hiotoko" (meaning "fire man"). Together, these two characters symbolize marital harmony and happiness. This clever design, where the pattern is "completed" through wrapping, is the signature style of the COCHAE team. These auspicious motifs make this furoshiki perfect not only for celebrations but also as New Year's decorations, or for wrapping small gifts like lunch boxes and sweets, bringing endless joy and good luck to the recipient. 【About the Design Team: COCHAE】 COCHAE is a Japanese design team composed of Yosuke Chikyubara, Miki Takeda, and Saya Kanno (since 2020), united by the theme of "designs full of fun."
