This furoshiki features the PPP (Piecing Pieces Pattern) design, a contemporary take on the traditional karakusa (唐草) motif by renowned artist Asao Tokolo. The karakusa, or “winding plant,” is a classic Japanese pattern representing growth, resilience, and longevity, making it a popular choice for gifts and celebrations.
Asao Tokolo, known for his work in art and design, creates patterns that explore themes of connection and continuity. His signature PPP pattern allows geometric shapes to seamlessly connect in all directions, bringing a modern perspective to classic motifs. Tokolo’s designs, including those for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics emblem, embody the idea of unity, making this furoshiki both visually striking and deeply meaningful.
Crafted from lightweight, semi-transparent cotton fabric, this furoshiki is perfect for a variety of uses. Its soft texture makes it ideal as a scarf or wrap, while the larger 100cm size is perfect for creating eco-friendly bags, wrapping bottles, or using as a decorative fabric for the home. The intricate design adds a refined touch, blending beautifully with both modern and traditional styles.

Elegantly wrapped with a motif-designed paper band, this furoshiki includes explanations of the design’s significance and instructions for various wrapping techniques suited to the 100cm size.
