We're thrilled to announce the upcoming 4th edition of 'Furoshiki SDGs Life,' scheduled for May 2025.
This year, our theme is...
In a disaster, you can only rely on your own hands and knowledge. Furoshiki can transform into a practical bag or backpack to support daily life―and with just a few tying techniques, it can even be used as a triangular bandage or for warmth.
