This listing is for a vintage Japanese furoshiki - a very handy, sturdy, multi-use wrapping cloth used in Japan.  

Rich and earthy, this vintage furoshiki brings a grounded forest feel with its deep green color and bold cream-colored go san kiri paulownia crest in the corner. The paulownia is a classic Japanese emblem symbolizing prosperity, renewal, and noble lineage, often seen on traditional garments and celebratory textiles.

There are some natural dye variations in the cotton cloth and signs of use with fading towards the middle which adds character and authenticity. There is some mottling as well that you can see on the crest. 

29.5" x 30.5"

Artistic furoshiki (often silk) are traditionally used as gift wrap but also make creative wall or table displays. Furoshiki in solid colors or with printed patterns (often cotton or rayon) are more casual versions used for shopping, transporting goods, or storing items at home. These days furoshiki are popular as upcycled grocery totes or to carry whatever we used to carry in a non-recyclable plastic bag.
