In case you didn’t know, Furoshiki refers to old-school Japanese wrapping cloths that were commonly used as gift paper or to transport goods as far back as 1200 years ago. And though they are still being faithfully produced today, to tap into the history of the textile as your mind drifts to theories on its original use, nothing beats picking up a vintage example – when you’re fortunate enough to come across one.

Lucky for you, Kiriko Made has just got some in that they have sourced and before they sell like paper-thin hotcakes, you better get in on the action. Made from 100% cotton and indigo dyed, you’ll notice that each one has a different design, ranging from more mellow organic looks to painstakingly crafted, intricate patterns. So whether you foresee a new tablecloth, shawl situation, or even a wall hanger in your near future, you can’t go wrong with a one-of-a-kind, Japanese-made, historic textile.

Available from $125 at Kiriko Made.
