With its big bold bright colours and design the Lucky Daruma Small Japanese Furoshiki is a visual delight! This traditional Japanese furoshiki features four large Daruma heads on a black red and green background.
Darumas, though typically red and depicting a bearded man (Dharma) are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, making them an ideal gift of encouragement! Furoshiki, which means Japanese bath-spread, comes from the Edo period practice of using them to bundle clothes while at the public baths to prevent a mix-up of bathers' clothes!
Authentic Japanese furoshiki are now more commonly used to wrap and carry a lunch box or gifts but can also be used as a small table cloth, a handkerchief or a ladies scarf!
Exclusive to The Japanese Shop and made in Japan from a pure woven cotton which has a soft crepe-like texture and finished edges. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in furoshiki as they can be used and re-used making the Lucky Daruma Small Japanese Furoshiki a great eco-friendly Japanese gift!
