Home | Furoshiki | Tenugi Cloths

Furoshikis have been used in Japan for thousands of years (earliest records in the Nara period 710-794)- as a useful way to transport and wrap objects. 

The name is said to come from samurais (and then later everyday people) using the furoshikis to wrap their clothes in when they disrobed for the public baths, as "Furo" means bath in Japanese. Everyone had a furoshiki with their family crest, so they could differentiate their clothes from others'.
