How to use Furoshiki
Furoshiki (風呂敷, fu-rosh-ki) is a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. 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!

About the Printing Process
Each of the Link Collective products has been hand printed in Japan, using traditional printing techniques. They have been working with a great printing company called Chiffonez in Tokyo, who specializes in the printing of Furoshiki. To make sure customers get the best results possible, they keep a close dialogue with the printers, retaining a good balance between the ideas and invaluable knowledge.
