Red Shippo Furoshiki 27 in

At first glance, the pattern on this stunning furoshiki wrapping cloth appears to be white dots on a red background, but the red part is subtly decorated with a shippo pattern of interlocking circles. 

Shippo is a pattern in which parallel circles of the same size are overlaid one quarter on top of the other, resulting in a continuous combination of a diamond-like shape and a petal-like shape. It signifies peace, happiness, and prosperity of offspring in an endless chain of circles.

It is an eye-catching pattern, and even today it is used in modern package design, graphic design, and as a pattern on the walls and ceilings of commercial facilities. It can be used for a wide range of occasions, both Japanese and Western, and is also suitable for wrapping Western-style items such as champagne and cakes.

The fabric is made of cotton, which has a reasonably firm texture and easy to use.

This furoshiki is suitable for any celebration and will be great to wrap gifts for someone who loves unique items and Japanese motifs.

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.
