LINK Furoshiki "Hida Express" - Navy
$ 55.00 USD
Printed using traditional methods in a workshop on the outskirts of Tokyo, this multipurpose furoshiki is perfect for gift-wrapping, carrying, wearing, or simply displaying. Each style is created by a collective of female designers and artists.
From the artist: “The Hida Express is a limited express train that runs from Toyoma to Takayama through the Japanese Alps. On this journey, all sense of time and orientation seemed to disappear as we snaked, sped, crawled, ambled, rocketed and twisted through mountain upon mountain, every turn revealing rushing rivers and glinting waterfalls only momentarily glanced.” — Hannah Waldron

$ 55.00 USD
Printed using traditional methods in a workshop on the outskirts of Tokyo, this multipurpose furoshiki is perfect for gift-wrapping, carrying, wearing, or simply displaying. Each style is created by a collective of female designers and artists.
From the artist: “The design is based on the functional aspect of the furoshiki: the idea of wrapping and folding. At first glance, it appears as a bold and abstract pattern, but when seen as a whole, it becomes apparent that the stripes depict manipulated and tied fabric.” — Lucinda Newton-Dunn

LINK Furoshiki “Tokyo” - Glow in the Dark
$ 68.00 USD
Printed using traditional methods in a workshop on the outskirts of Tokyo, this multipurpose furoshiki is perfect for gift-wrapping, carrying, wearing, or simply displaying. Each style is created by a collective of female designers and artists.
This style features a special technique that allows for glow-in-the-dark inks using silk screens. The ink absorbs natural light during the day and radiates a soft glow at night. Unlike some glow-in-the-dark inks, it is soft to the touch, so it can be worn comfortably.
From the artist: “Arriving in Tokyo city in that magic time between night and day, our train meanders through a Tetris-like metropolis, we become enveloped in a world of blocks, but as we look more we begin to see the traces of times past. Windows appear to flicker on and off, as people come and go, the city that never sleeps welcomes us with its glow.” — Hannah Waldron
