The Musubi Koetsu Chirimen Iris Furoshiki combines traditional Japanese design with a practical, reusable wrapping cloth. Deep blue and purple iris flowers spread across a soft light gray background, creating a graceful design that changes appearance depending on how the cloth is folded, tied, or wrapped.
The iris, known as kakitsubata in Japanese, is a classic subject associated with the Rinpa school of Japanese art. The rounded flowers are arranged toward the corners of the cloth, allowing different portions of the blue, purple, gray, and white design to appear with each wrapping style.
This furoshiki is made from Koetsu chirimen, a textured crepe fabric with a gently rippled surface. Twisted yarns give the material its distinctive texture, rich color, and pleasant feel. Unlike delicate silk chirimen, this modern polyester version is durable, resistant to wrinkles, and washable at home.
At approximately 70cm square, it is a versatile size for wrapping gifts, bottles, lunch boxes, clothing, and other personal belongings. It can also be tied into a simple reusable carrying bag, used to organize items while traveling, or displayed as decorative Japanese fabric. After the gift is opened, the recipient can reuse the cloth again and again.
Musubi is the furoshiki brand of Yamada Sen-i, a Kyoto textile company founded in 1937. Their designs combine traditional Japanese wrapping culture with attractive fabrics suited to modern everyday use.
Care Instructions: Machine wash gently at or below 40 degrees Celsius. Wash separately from other items since some color transfer may occur. Use a pressing cloth when ironing. Do not tumble dry.
