Description

These furoshiki from Tatsumura Art Textiles are perfect for wrapping sweets, alcohol, and gifts. When wearing a kimono, you can also use them as a small bag. Not only are they functional, taking full advantage of the fabric’s thin and lightweight qualities, but they also feature vibrant, eye-catching designs, making them a popular choice as souvenirs for overseas travelers.

Made from 100% pure silk keikin fabric, each furoshiki features a Tatsumura Art Weaving label on the reverse side.

The 60cm square size is perfect for wrapping small bento boxes, boxes of sweets, and wine bottles. The 90cm square size is large enough to wrap a one-shō bottle or be used to make an eco-bag. It can also be used as a tablecloth.

Shokko Nishiki(Shokko Brocade)

Shokko Nishiki originally means a red brocade woven at a mill in Chengdu, capital city of Shu Dynasty China (221-263 AD). The brocade had long been known for its beauty in ancient China. Later, the term came to be applied to a particular geometrical pattern, regardless of the origin of the fabric. At Horyu-ji temple, Nara, Japan, there are preserved two kinds of Shokko Nishiki, designated as Important Cultural Assets, one with a floral design in squares and the other a geometric pattern, both on a red ground. This piece is a reproduction of the Shokko Nishiki which is supposed to have been made in China in the 14th Century and handed down at a House of Maeda, a grand feudal lord in the Edo Period (1600-1868 AD). It is excused as warp-patterned brocade with a sophisticated color scheme.
