[Motif] This design features a fresh, ripe red apple, transformed into a delicious furoshiki (wrapping cloth) that beautifully adorns the dining table, adding warmth and energy to everyday life. Since ancient times, the apple has been considered a very auspicious motif, symbolizing the fulfillment of great wishes, where diligent efforts and hopes bear fruit in the best possible way, and the increase in wealth, where life becomes prosperous, due to the appearance of its abundant, ripe fruit. Furthermore, the round, lovely shape of the apple embodies the deep wish for "good fortune and harmony," where everything comes together smoothly, and "safety and security in the home," where the family is bound together by strong ties. In addition, because the sound of the word "apple" is similar to "peace" and "tranquility," it also deeply embodies prayers for "good health" and "protection from evil," where one lives a healthy life while keeping misfortune at bay. The vibrant apple pattern, brimming with the bounty of the earth, will gently bring warmth, happiness, and smiles to the everyday life of those who hold it, every time they wrap their meals or lunchboxes.
The culture of "wrapping," and the "furoshiki," the tool for this, have been passed down since the Nara period. A versatile cloth with great flexibility for wrapping various items around the house, the furoshiki can be used in many ways, such as wrapping, laying out, and covering. Why not incorporate furoshiki into your daily life?
This small furoshiki (wrapping cloth) is suitable for wrapping your lunch. The simple patterns, which utilize the shapes of various foods, make your lunch look even more delicious. It's made of thin, easy-to-tie cotton fabric and printed using a dyeing method that makes it difficult to distinguish between the front and back.
