The Musubi Kata Kata Cats and Birds Furoshiki turns gift wrapping into a playful game of hide and seek. Black cats and colorful birds peek through overlapping waves in shades of turquoise, green, gray, and cream, creating a lively pattern that reveals different characters depending on how the cloth is folded and tied.
The Cats and Birds design was created by Kata Kata, the Japanese textile design team of Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai. Their charming animal illustrations are inspired by traditional Japanese stencil-dyeing techniques and are known for combining simple shapes with expressive personalities.
The design also carries an auspicious meaning. In Japan, black cats can symbolize good luck and prosperous business, while birds gathering together represent the arrival of many customers. This makes the cloth a thoughtful gift for cat lovers, bird lovers, or someone opening a new business.
Made from 100% cotton, the fabric is durable, washable, and easy to tie. At approximately 70cm square, it is a versatile size for wrapping gifts, bottles, lunch boxes, books, and other everyday items. It can also be tied into a small carrying bag or reused as a decorative cloth.
Musubi is the furoshiki brand of Yamada Sen-i, a Kyoto textile company founded in 1937. The Kata Kata collection pairs the designers playful animal artwork with traditional Japanese wrapping cloths made for modern everyday use.
Care Instructions: Hand wash gently and wash separately from other items since some color transfer may occur. Use a pressing cloth when ironing. Do not tumble dry.
