This listing is for a vintage Japanese furoshiki - a very handy, sturdy, multi-use wrapping cloth used in Japan.  A folded furoshiki can also be easily carried in a purse or backpack to provide a makeshift carrier for groceries or purchases.

This vintage furoshiki has an earthy, rustic charm, featuring nubby brown silk with woven stripes in muted blue and warm golden tones that feel both traditional and modern. The slubby texture and slightly uneven threads show its handwoven character, giving it a tactile, organic look that pairs beautifully with natural decor and handmade gifts.

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.
