Enrich Your Life with Furoshiki
Our customers delightfully tell us, 'My life has been a blast since I started using Furoshiki.'
Essentially, Furoshiki is a handy and eco-friendly product that enhances our daily lives. Moreover, it offers an opportunity to appreciate it as an art form, immersing oneself in the cultural aspect and finding joy in creativity.
Our directly operated stores in Tokyo and Kyoto are open to convey the delight of Furoshiki-infused living to as many people as possible.
A New Challenge: Wishes on a Single Cloth
Our purpose is to create a Furoshiki that fits into modern life.
We'll continue to explore with an adventurous spirit and our creativity while respecting tradition.
We employ various techniques, such as 'Reversible Dyeing,' 'Dual-Pattern Dyeing,' and 'Water-Repellent Processes,' among others, to create the unique compositions of Furoshiki.
Innovation is fueled by the responsibility and passion of each employee, further supported by professional, curated artisans.
The New World that Begins with ‘Furoshiki is Interesting’
Starting with 'Chou Musubi' in collaboration with minä perhonen, our journey with various talented creators has birthed a multitude of creative collections.
One of our missions is to create "New Furoshiki" that can be enjoyed not only in 2D but also in 3D. This moment marks an opportunity for us to encounter fresh stimuli and possibilities.
To create a sense of 'I want to experience it'
We place great value on installations that showcase the possibilities of Furoshiki and create spaces designed to thrill people. Our mission is to evoke a sense of 'I want to experience it,' not only in Japan but also throughout the world, by conveying the joy of tying a knot.
Installations
To carry forward 'the culture of spirit' and 'sustainability' into the future
What is significance of using Furoshiki in a society where everything is readily available? We actively participate in events both in Japan and other countries, showcasing our commitment to advancing 'the culture of spirit' and 'sustainability' inherent in Furoshiki. We continuously bridge the gap between 'Furoshiki and Now' by engaging with various media platforms, discussing topics such as eco-bags, Japanese culture, sustainability, and other related angles.

Aiming for a sustainable environment and society
We've been asked many times during our visits to Europe, 'Why do you use polyester even though Furoshiki itself is a wonderful sustainable product?'
This question reflects the high expectations for Furoshiki and reminds us of the areas we need to focus on as a Furoshiki shop. Our goal is to develop products made from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton or recycled polyester. Additionally, we aim to create an office environment that promotes recycling of waste materials and a system that supports ongoing employment for everyone.
