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

Bright and cheerful, this vintage furoshiki adds instant warmth to any gift with its vivid golden yellow color and crisp black maker's mark in one corner. The brand signature translates to Marui Imai, a well-known historic Japanese department store founded in Hokkaido. The cloth is soft, lightweight cotton and generously sized, perfect for wrapping boxes, bottles or decor pieces in a reusable and eco-minded way.

40.5" x 42"

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.
