Lion Dance and Thief Green Furoshiki 19 in

This Japanese furoshiki wrapping cloth was designed by origami artist duo "Cochae." It features the faces of a lion's mask and a thief. The green arabesque cloth is strongly related to both, and is the pattern worn during the lion dance, and is known as the pattern for the cloth the thief puts his stolen goods in. The humor is familiar to Japanese people and full of playfulness.

The size of 48 cm (18.9 in) is suitable for wrapping small items or bento boxes. The moderate unevenness of the surface gives it more texture than a flat fabric and is easier to wrap. The more you use this cotton material, the softer and gentler the texture becomes.

With this unique Japanese motif and bright design, it is recommended for everyday use as well as for gift-giving.

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.
