Furoshiki medetai green 89cm

Furoshiki medetai green 89cm

A cotton furoshiki wrap – it can be used as a tablecloth, a scarf or an original way to wrap a gift – such as a book, a box of ceramics (e.g. a sushi or tea set), or bottles of alcohol. You can also use it to carry various items – books, a laptop or your daily shopping. The wrap is large enough that, in just a few minutes, using two or three knots, you can turn it into a handy handbag or shopping bag. There are countless uses for it; the possibilities are limited only by your imagination and creativity :) The cloth is made from very high-quality cotton with an interesting weave known as ‘shantung’ – featuring characteristic ‘thickened’ sections.

The pattern on this scarf is very intriguing, with deep symbolism. ‘Medetai’ means, in Japanese, a joyful occasion for celebration. In Japan, the symbol for this expression is the TAI fish – the sea bream. It is usually part of the New Year’s meal, the individual ingredients of which are said to bring good fortune and happiness. The scarf depicts the word ‘MEDETAI’ graphically using a drawing of an eye (pronounced ‘me’), a syllable from the alphabet pronounced ‘de’, and an image of the TAI fish itself. This combination conveys wishes for all the best for the recipient or the owner of the scarf.
