Gods of Wind and Thunder Chirimen Furoshiki 27 in

The Wind God and Thunder God depicted on this furoshiki wrapping cloth are among the masterpieces of Tawaraya Sotatsu, a renowned painter of the Edo period (1603–1868 CE). 

Since ancient times, people in Japan have believed that the wind blows and thunder rumbles because of the presence of these two gods in the sky between heaven and earth. It is believed that the wind and thunder gods are beneficial for victory and business prosperity.

This furoshiki is made by a Japanese traditional weaving technique called chirimen, which gives it a unique texture with an uneven surface.

It is perfect for wrapping gifts for those who wish for prosperity, and also for hanging in a room as decorations.

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.
