What is FUROSHIKI?

What is Furoshiki?

Furoshiki is a square cloth made of various fibers, and has been used in Japan for wrapping and carrying things since ancient times.

The word "furoshiki" originated in the Muromachi period (1336-1573) when feudal lords wrapped their undressed kimonos in furoshiki with their family crests when taking a steam bath.

Later, in the Edo period (1603-1868), when public baths became more common, many people began to use this cloth wrapping (furoshiki) when going to public baths.

The family crest was placed in the furoshiki so that people could identify whose belongings it was.

I would like to write an essay about family crests another time.

Misomaru's furoshiki is made of a lustrous and firm cotton called broad cotton.

As the feudal lords used to decorate the cloth with their family crests, I decorated the cloth with a minimalist design of "Umehachi", the family crest of Kiyomi, the founder of Misomaru.

Misomaru's furoshiki is the smallest furoshiki size, called nakakakin, and is just the right size to carry a lunch box or fruit.

Furoshiki is just a piece of cloth, but it can be transformed into an instant bag or a handkerchief by wrapping or twisting it.

When you don't use it, you can keep it in your bag, and when you need it, you can take it out, wrap it according to the shape of what you want to wrap or carry, and tie it.

It is the ultimate eco-bag.
