We’re thrilled to introduce a new collection of furoshiki now available at okappa houseware! These versatile cloths are 27.6" x 27.6", the perfect size for a wide range of uses. Whether you’re wrapping gifts, carrying essentials, or creating a beautiful display, this size adapts easily to your needs.
A Celebration of Craftsmanship
What sets these furoshiki apart is their reversible design. Each cloth features the same intricate pattern dyed on both sides, but in contrasting colors. This showcases a remarkable double-sided dyeing technique that is both advanced and visually stunning. When wrapped, you get to enjoy both sides’ vibrant hues, adding an extra layer of beauty and creativity to your wrapping.
Timeless Japanese Designs
This collection features three traditional Japanese designs, each with its own story and symbolism:
Knots: Inspired by the image of a knot, this pattern also resembles overlapping stripes. Its continuous and unbroken design symbolizes good fortune, making it a thoughtful choice for gifting.
Chrysanthemum: A classic motif representing immortality, good health, and longevity. Its intricate design carries a sense of elegance and auspiciousness.
Japanese Plum: Bold and striking, the plum blossom motif celebrates resilience and renewal. As the first flower to bloom in early spring, it’s a symbol of hope and auspicious beginnings.
