Product Description

Era: 1950s
Material: Cotton

Quietly carrying the passage of time, this 1950s Japanese cotton furoshiki tells a story that lingers beyond its fabric.

Across the fine striped pattern, bold hand-dyed characters read “Dokuritsu Kinen San’gyō Fukkō Kyōshinkai” — a commemorative phrase from the postwar era when Japan was striving to rise again. The fabric holds the breath of a time when hope and recovery lived close to the surface of everyday life.

Touching it, you immediately feel the calm softness that only cloth repeatedly washed, used, and loved can possess. Small frays and stains are not flaws, but marks of a life lived — traces of hands and years that shaped its quiet beauty.

Measuring approximately 34.6 × 36.2 inches (88 × 92 cm), it invites more than its original purpose of wrapping. Spread on a table, the light settles gently across its woven texture. Hung on a wall, it fills the space with a silent strength. In handcrafts or upcycled creations, it lends a deep sense of warmth to what is made from it.

Today, Japanese kofu (antique textiles) like this are increasingly valued overseas, sought after in the fields of art, interior design, and handmade work. This cloth holds the potential to begin a new chapter in someone’s life once again.

Please note that the item will be shipped compressed, and may develop wrinkles during transit.
