Vintage Japanese Silk Chirimen Furoshiki Original Kiri-Wood Paulownia Box: JanYC
Vintage Japanese furoshiki:
Large size in original Kiri-Wood Paulownia Box
...
This is one of a huge lot of vintage Japanese furoshiki that we have
acquired. Many came from well known department stores, etc…
They were produced in Japan in the 1960’s - 1980’s. This was before such items were made in other Asian countries as they often are now
…
Furoshiki are traditional, multi-purpose cloths that are used for carrying lunch boxes, clothing, etc. and there are numerous traditional ways to tying them and books are available to show you how. Furoshiki are sometimes made of silk but since silk is expensive and delicate, cotton or synthetics ‘jinken’ that mimic silk are much more popular as you don’t have to worry about their getting wet or stained. In the post-war period, Nylon, Rayon and blends are the most popular fabric for furoshiki and silk is only used on rare occasions…
