明治20年に島根県出雲市で創業した長田染工場で、伝統技法「筒描き」の技術を使い、職人さんが1枚1枚丁寧に作り上げた藍染め暖簾です。
当時は何十軒もあった工場も今では出雲市では長田さんの工場が1軒だけ。柿渋で作った絞り袋の様な形をしたチューブの中に、餅米を練って作った糊をいれ、模様通りに丁寧に生地の上にのせていきます。糊の部分に藍を染み込ませない事で糊を生地から剥がした後、白く美しい模様が浮かび上がります。
イギリス人アーティスト、ハンナ・ワードロン (www.hannahwaldron.co.uk) とのコラボレーションにより、大胆な朱色のコントラストが印象的なモダンな暖簾に仕上がりました。
ドアの前に掛ける暖簾としては勿論、壁に飾ってアート作品として飾って頂く事で、伝統的でありながらもモダンな雰囲気に変えてくれるインパクトのある暖簾です。
サイズ : 高さ 1500mm, 幅 900mm
(暖簾を吊るす棒が付属します)
※こちらの作品は受注生産で全て手作りのため、仕上がりまで通常3-4ヶ月ほどのお時間を頂いております。

Furoshiki are the original multi-use textile. The Japanese have been using them to wrap things since the 17th century but today they’re worn as chic scarves, carried as lightweight bags and displayed as works of art.
Wear your furoshiki
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
Turn it into a bag
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
Hang it in the home
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
Learn how to wrap
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
Why multi-use matters
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.
Handmade in Japan
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
