History:
Furoshiki have been used in Japan for over 1,200 years. Around 600 years ago, the custom of wrapping clothes in a cloth bearing one\'s family crest to prevent them from mixing with other people\'s clothing at the bath (public bath), and then laying the cloth on the floor to get ready after bathing, became widespread, and it is said that the name \"furoshiki\" became established from this.
Furoshiki are functional and beautiful cloth products that convey the traditional Japanese culture and wisdom of \"wrapping.\"
