【Limited Edition】Kyoto Furoshiki: Modern Girl Ni-tsuki - Colorful Stripes

【Kyoto Furoshiki: Modern Girl Colorful Stripes】 The colorful stripes are a popular "Korai pattern" (overseas design) found in Meisen kimonos. Historical Context: In Japanese tradition, horizontal stripes were originally called "suji," while stripes (like vertical ones) introduced from overseas were classified as "shimamono." At that time, Western patterns like stripes and polka dots were highly favored by women. Design Features: The "shimamono" design, popular at the time, is reinterpreted with POP modern colors, making it more aligned with contemporary fashion. 【Modern Girl Series - Taisho Modern Design Style】 This series revives the "Modern Girl" style, embodying the most vibrant and innovative spirit of the Taisho era (Taisho Roman): Historical Background: Following the Great Kanto Earthquake in the 12th year of Taisho (1923), a new generation of young people, known as "Mobo" (Modern Boys) and "Moga" (Modern Girls), emerged in Tokyo. Fashion Icons: Modern Girls particularly favored a type of silk kimono that incorporated overseas textile designs – Meisen. They walked the streets in brightly colored, POP-style Meisen kimonos, representing the most avant-garde fashion of the era. Craftsmanship Reimagined: Through printing techniques, this Furoshiki series skillfully recreates the rich world of Meisen kimono colors and the delicate Kasuri weaving patterns. This design, a fusion of Japanese and Western styles, is perfectly suited for pairing with dresses, kimonos, or yukatas. 【Practicality and Aesthetics: The 70cm Craftsmanship of Japan】 Ideal for gift wrapping or as a stylish bag, this is a refined item that combines both practicality and beauty. 【Material and Environmental Commitment: MUSUBI Organic Cotton】 This Furoshiki is made from MUSUBI organic cotton, grown in fields that have practiced organic farming for 2-3 years, meet organic agricultural production standards, and are certified by accredited bodies.
