Blue Whale Organic Cotton Furoshiki 39.4 in

In this furoshiki—Japan’s classic wrapping cloth—two boldly illustrated whales swim gracefully through the water in a dynamic and expressive design. The background of waves and rounded shapes of the whales convey vitality and a sense of fun.

This work is part of a popular collaboration with the stencil dyeing artist unit kata kata. Their unique designs and warm color palettes create a whimsical world that gently brightens everyday life.

The large 100 cm (39.4 in) size is perfect for wrapping large gifts. It can also be used as a bag, tablecloth, or incorporated into interior decor. Made of 100% organic cotton, it is also soft, easy to tie, and machine-washable.

Combining both practicality and aesthetic appeal, this furoshiki also makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift.

Yamada Sen-i

Yamada Sen-i was founded in 1937 as a Kyoto-based wholesaler of furoshiki, or Japanese wrapping cloths. Today, the company is one among the dwindling numbers of makers specializing in furoshiki. They see it as their duty to share furoshiki with the next generation, viewing this craft as a continuously developing living culture that has and continues to nurture the heart of Japan. Yamada Sen-i both develops new products and restores old designs, bringing this unique Japanese craft to the world.
