About this piece
Lilac furoshiki cloth printed with cherry blossom, blue flowers and gold on purple
Blossom on lilac, with a little blue. This cloth is a lilac ground printed with cherry blossom in pink, white and a deep red, with small blue flowers scattered between and gold outlining the petals and dotted across the print. The lilac is what makes it: on pink the blossom is a season, on lilac it is a dream of one.
It is the cloth in the collection for a person who likes pink and wants it cooler.
The name, Sakurayume, is the cherry-blossom dream, and the lilac is the colour dreams are printed in.
The cloth is a fine, close-woven fabric with a soft hand and a little body, printed with the design and then with a metallic gold that sits on the surface as a line, so the pattern is flat and the gold catches light. It is the cloth of a Japanese print shop, the kind sold by the metre for kimono linings and bags.
Use it the way a furoshiki is used: tie it round a bottle with the ends knotted into a handle, wrap a box with the corners folded and tied, roll a lunch in it, or lay it down the middle of a table. Tied at the neck it is a scarf; hung from a rod it is a picture. The cloth is the gift and the wrapping, and it is used again.
The blue flowers are the detail: small, round and a clear blue, they are the only cool colour in a warm print and they are what stop the lilac from turning pink. The blossom is drawn in three sizes and the gold outlines the largest only.
Hand wash cool or machine wash on a gentle cycle in a bag, and dry flat out of the sun, which is what the gold asks for; iron on the reverse on low. The print is fast and the metallic line stays through washing if it is not scrubbed.
From across a table it is a lilac cloth with pink on it. From close the blossom shows its petals, the blue flowers their round, and the gold its outline. It is the cloth for a gift to a friend and a shelf in a bedroom.
It measures 50 by 145 cm, which is a rectangle, not the square of a traditional furoshiki, and we say so: it wraps a bottle or a long box the way a square does, and it runs down a table or ties round a neck the way a square does not. A single piece, hemmed on all four sides, one size.
Questions about the furoshiki
What is a furoshiki?
A wrapping cloth. In Japan it wraps a gift, a bottle, a lunch or a purchase, and the cloth is part of the present and is used again. It also runs down a table, hangs on a wall or ties as a scarf.
What size is it?
50 by 145 cm, a long rectangle rather than the traditional square. It wraps a bottle or a long box like a square does, and it works as a table runner or a scarf, which a square does not.
What is it made of?
A fine, close-woven printed cloth with a soft hand and a little body, the kind sold by the metre in a Japanese print shop. Most designs carry a metallic gold printed on the surface.
Is it made in Japan?
No. It is a Japanese design, made in Asia. We say so on every page.
How do I tie it?
For a bottle: stand it in the centre, bring the two long ends up, cross them, wrap and knot at the top into a handle. For a box: lay it diagonally, fold the corners over and tie the last two. Any knot that holds is correct.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash cool or a gentle machine cycle in a bag, dry flat out of the sun, iron on the reverse on low. Do not scrub the gold.
What we sell, and what we don't
Japanese designs, made in Asia. Cotton, linen or polyester as stated on each piece, never silk. We say so on every page, because the alternative is selling you a word instead of a garment.
