Vintage Japanese Furoshiki
Details
A vintage Japanese furoshiki featuring a striking woven stripe pattern in warm shades of orange, rust red, pale blue, cream, and brown. Dating to the mid-Shōwa period (c. 1940s–1960s), this versatile cotton wrapping cloth reflects the bold yet understated aesthetic of everyday Japanese textiles.
The cloth retains its original hand-painted white kanji ownership markings, adding authenticity and a glimpse into its history of daily use. Soft with age and finished on all four sides, it was originally used to wrap and carry clothing, gifts, and household items.
Originally used for wrapping and carrying belongings, this generously sized cloth is both practical and decorative. The rich contrast of colors and its graphic design make it ideal as a wall hanging, a table covering, or as part of a textile collection
