What is Furoshiki?

Furoshiki is a piece of square towel that people from Japan have been using to wrap gifts and carry groceries for generations. Due to its unique pattern, size and weaving style, this 100% high quality cotton towel can be used in a variety of different ways.

About the pattern

The pattern represents knots which stand for togetherness and connectedness. The knots always come with good wishes and are ideal for celebrating weddings or anniversaries. The knots pattern is also commonly associated with family, loyalty and gratitude.

About the designer

The Isa Monyo collection was originally designed by Kunio Isa, one of the most influential artist in traditional stencil printing. Since 1940 he has created more than three thousand design stencils, that remain to to date in the Isa Research Institute in Japan. Many of his creations are unique, yet modern, and have been printed on numerous products or are available as standalone art.
