Kyoto Furoshiki Wrap - katakata Medium Towel - Cats and Birds - Pink

【Kyoto Furoshiki Wrap: katakata Cats and Birds】 In Japan before modern times, black cats were revered as "Maneki-neko" (beckoning cats), symbolizing warding off evil, bringing good fortune, and prosperity in business. Birds, too, were considered auspicious symbols for business success, believed to "attract customers." The artist has skillfully combined these elements to create a pattern brimming with stories and well wishes. 【About the Artists: kata kata】 The unique patterns on this furoshiki are by the Japanese stencil-dyeing artist duo kata kata. Composed of Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai, they specialize in traditional techniques like "kata-zome" (stencil dyeing) to create their art on fabric and paper. Their style is characterized by the warmth of handmade craftsmanship, and they share their work through numerous exhibitions and joint shows. Their designs are not only beloved in Japan but also popular internationally, making them a key collaborative series for Musubi. 【The Origin and Charm of Furoshiki】 "Furoshiki" (風呂敷) is a traditional wrapping cloth originating from Japan's Muromachi period, which has evolved into an eco-friendly, stylish, and ingenious cultural symbol. It can serve as a sustainable alternative to disposable bags, and with different tying methods, it can transform into a unique tote bag, gift wrap, or home decor, showcasing your creativity and taste. 【Product Specifications】 Material: Cotton Size: 45cm x 45cm Origin: Kyoto, Japan 【Washing and Care Instructions】 ・Machine washable or hand washable ・Iron safe 【Precautions】 ※Items such as socks, handkerchiefs, towels, and scarves are personal wear.
