Cotton Furoshiki – The Folk Sun, Suns and Lions in Bright Blue

The same folk world as its cobalt counterpart, lifted now into a brighter, sunlit register.

A bright blue ground carries golden yellow and burgundy figures — suns with faces, palm trees, bulls and lions, drawn in the flat language of folk print. The yellow gives the cloth a warmth the cobalt version does not have; the burgundy holds it from running too cheerful. A faint vertical crease runs down the centre, the kind that softens with use rather than disappearing. Read it as a sibling to the cobalt, not a copy.

A furoshiki belongs to the everyday — a cloth to wrap a gift, to fold across a low table, or to knot through a pair of wooden patchins and carry as a bag. The 50 × 50 cm makes a small day bag; the 70 × 70 cm, a larger tote. We hem each cloth by hand at the atelier.
