HISTORY

Fukuro-mono and tsutsumi-mono come from Japan’s indigenous Yamato language, rich in words that express nature and everyday life.

They arose from everyday wisdom and caring acts held in the heartfelt motions of wrapping, enclosing, and gently separating objects from the world around them.


FUKURO-MONO is a microcosm of Japanese decorative arts, crafted in harmony with nature. As practices such as Sadō (tea ceremony) began to take shape from the 13th century onward, the decorative arts also evolved. During the Edo period, fukuro-mono culture blossomed, producing masterpieces that reflected a rich, multifaceted beauty—balancing simplicity and subtlety with ornamentation and playful elegance.


TSUTSUMI-MONO has over 1200 years of history. It became commonly known as furoshiki in the 14th century, a name still used today. Traditional furoshiki often featured patterns and motifs inspired by the natural world. Some were crafted by master artisans, while others were handmade from old kimono—showing how deeply this simple cloth was woven into everyday life.
