Furoshiki 100 – PPP Karakusa Gray

This furoshiki features the PPP (Piecing Pieces Pattern) design, a contemporary take on the traditional karakusa (唐草) motif by acclaimed artist Asao Tokolo. The karakusa pattern, known as “winding plant,” represents growth, resilience, and the continuity of life. This makes it a popular motif in Japan for expressing wishes of prosperity and well-being.

Asao Tokolo’s PPP pattern offers a fresh perspective on this classic design, using geometric shapes that seamlessly connect in all directions. His approach to pattern-making emphasizes connection and unity, bringing a modern yet meaningful touch to traditional Japanese artistry. Tokolo is known for his work on the Tokyo 2020 Olympics emblem, and his designs continue to inspire with their sense of harmony and flow.

The soft gray tone of this furoshiki adds a subtle elegance, making it an excellent choice for various settings. Its lightweight, semi-transparent cotton fabric is ideal for use as a scarf or wrap, and the larger 100cm size makes it suitable for wrapping gifts, creating reusable bags, or adding a refined touch to home décor as a fabric accent.

Makes the Perfect Gift

Elegantly wrapped with a motif-designed paper band, this furoshiki comes with explanations of the design’s meaning and instructions for various wrapping techniques suitable for the 100cm size. The thoughtful presentation makes it a perfect gift for those who appreciate the blend of modern design and Japanese tradition.
