BIG STARRY FUROSHIKI

The perfect travel companions: in the VI century paintings we can find the ancient use of tsutsumi, the “cloth packages” that used to wrap travelers’ clothes and food. In the Edo era (1603 - 1868) the wraps changed their name to furoshiki, used among spa-goers to protect their clothes. However, they have become popular thanks to the merchants, who used them to transport their goods around the world: precious food and rare merchandise.
