A quiet green stripe with the practical beauty of a Japanese furoshiki.

This vintage Japanese furoshiki, or traditional wrapping cloth, was made in the Mid-Showa period, approximately the 1950s to 1960s. Its soft cotton, green-striped pattern, naturally faded tones, and gentle texture reflect years of practical use.

Furoshiki were everyday textiles, used to wrap and carry belongings with care rather than disposable packaging. This piece carries that spirit into contemporary slow living: one useful cloth, kept in circulation and given a new role in the home.

At approximately 138 × 136 cm, it can be used as a table covering, wall textile, display backdrop, photography background, or material for a handmade and upcycled project. The scale gives the stripes room to become part of a space, while the aged cotton adds warmth that newly manufactured cloth cannot reproduce.

Japanese vintage textiles like this are increasingly appreciated by overseas collectors, interior stylists, designers, and makers who value practical history, honest wear, and the alternative they offer to fast-fashion and disposable culture. One of a kind. Once sold, it will not be available again.
