This elegant furoshiki showcases a bold plum (梅) pattern, a symbol of good fortune and celebration in Japanese culture. The plum design, known for blooming early in spring, represents new beginnings and is often used in celebratory gifts for weddings, graduations, and other special milestones. With its striking design, this furoshiki adds a touch of traditional beauty to any occasion.
Created by the Isa Monyo Research Institute, this piece features intricate double-sided dyeing, where the same pattern is dyed in different vibrant colors on each side—red on one side and green on the other. This advanced dyeing technique allows for a reversible design that offers two looks in one, making it both versatile and visually captivating. The craftsmanship involved in this process reflects a high level of skill and tradition.
The larger size (104cm) makes this furoshiki ideal for various uses, from a stylish bag or wrap for gifts to a decorative element in your home. Its bold pattern and colors blend beautifully with both traditional and modern interiors, adding a touch of elegance wherever it is used.
