Inspired by Japan’s timeless Kataezome (型絵染め) tradition, a stencil dyeing technique, Isa Monyo (伊砂文様) reinvents classic motifs with a modern perspective. Known for its detailed patterns and cultural depth, Isa Monyo’s designs are beloved in both kimono and furoshiki, bringing a sense of refined elegance and history to everyday life.
The knot pattern, reminiscent of traditional Japanese Mizuhiki (水引) knots, represents connection, good fortune, and the tying together of important life moments. In Japanese culture, knots symbolize strength, unity, and the desire for happiness, making this design an ideal choice for celebratory occasions and meaningful gifts.
This reversible furoshiki is expertly crafted using a special dyeing technique that keeps the same intricate pattern on both sides, with a beautiful contrast between deep blue on one side and vibrant orange on the other. This dual-color design adds versatility and charm, allowing you to choose the perfect hue for any occasion.
The larger 104cm size makes this furoshiki ideal as a decorative tablecloth or a spacious, reusable furoshiki bag. It can be folded into a versatile bag for shopping, traveling, or as an elegant way to wrap larger gifts. Its size and style make it a practical yet sophisticated accessory that fits seamlessly into both modern and traditional lifestyles.
Makes the Perfect Gift
Wrapped with a beautifully designed paper band, this furoshiki includes explanations of the pattern’s significance and easy-to-follow instructions for various wrapping methods. The thoughtful packaging and cultural insights, provided in both Japanese and English, make it a perfect choice for gifting.
