このクッションカバーは、日本の東北地方の雪深い地域で生まれた、数百年の歴史を持つ伝統的な技法”刺し子”を用いて作られています。
もともとは布地を補強し保温性を高めるために考案された刺し子は、細い綿糸を繰り返し幾何学模様に縫い込み、美しくかつ丈夫な生地を生み出します。
日本で数少ない織物職人のひとりである 大狭健市氏。
大狭氏は、民藝運動の創始者である 柳宗悦の甥にあたり染織家でもあった柳悦孝氏に師事し、消えゆくこの伝統技法を守り続けています。
深い藍色に美しく浮き上がるベージュの糸が印象的なカラー。 暮らしの中にそっと置くだけで、落ち着いた気品と手仕事のストーリーを感じられる一枚です。
素材：綿100%
サイズ：45 × 45cm

Our contemporary designs give a modern edge to the traditional furoshiki, and look stunning as a scarf. Each design is printed by hand onto premium cotton giving a soft feel and elegant drape, then the edges are carefully hand rolled and sewn. Furoshiki scarf gallery
You can easily convert your furoshiki into a simple shoulder bag with one of our handmade straps &mdash ideal for lightweight travels, or in those unexpected moments when you need an extra bag.
Just thread the corners of the furoshiki through the metal buckles of the strap, pull to tighten and you're done. They don’t damage the fabric so you can easily switch between using your furoshiki as a scarf or a bag. See all our bag sets here
Turn your furoshiki into a beautiful artwork by hanging it with our display pole.
The wooden construction sandwiches the furoshiki into poles at the top and bottom, gently pulling the furoshiki flat and creating a simple display for the furoshiki. Learn more about the display pole
The Japanese have perfected the art of wrapping furoshiki over 400 years. You can use one of the many traditional techniques to elegantly wrap anything from books to bottles and make any gift extra special. See our wrapping guide
We’re reluctant to use the term “eco-friendly” as making any product consumes resources. But the great thing about furoshiki is that they can be used in so many ways; they spend less time in your closet, and more time in use.
That’s not going to save the planet, but it’s a better use of resources and helps you declutter your life a little bit too.
We believe Japanese craftsmanship is second to none. That’s why all our furoshiki are hand-printed and sewn in Japan by a family-owned business with over 50 years experience in furoshiki production. See our furoshiki being made here
By collaborating with international artists and designers, we aim to cross cultures and generations by creating beautiful, functional products that merge contemporary design with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Learn more about the story behind Link
