Description: Vintage Japanese furoshiki: Original Kiri-Wood Paulownia Box… DESCRIPTION: Fine quality silk chirimen in original kiri-wood Paulownia box. The note says that this was created by Kyoto’s Takashimaya Department Store to commemorate the passing of a calligraphy teacher as a gift to her disciples. CONDITION: Excellent - no stains, odor or other issues - possibly never used. SIZE: 29" X 29” or 74 X 74cm. MATERIAL: 100% Silk Chirimen. MADE IN JAPAN NOTE: This is one of a huge lot of vintage Japanese furoshiki that we have acquired. Many came from well known department stores, etc… They were produced in Japan in the 1960’s - 1980’s. This was before such items were made in other Asian countries as they often are now… These are all vintage and some are unused, like new or have stains or other damage so examine the photos carefully before purchasing to determine the exact condition of this particular item and it’s value to you. Furoshiki are traditional, multi-purpose cloths that are used for carrying lunch boxes, clothing, etc. and there are numerous traditional ways to tying them and books are available to show you how. Furoshiki are sometimes made of silk but since silk is expensive and delicate, cotton or synthetics ‘jinken’ that mimic silk are much more popular as you don’t have to worry about their getting wet or stained. In the post-war period, Nylon, Rayon and blends are the most popular fabric for furoshiki and silk is only used on rare occasions… Shipping Note: Two types of shipping are offered for this item:1) EMS Express (INCLUDES TRACKING & Insurance) and is fast and dependable.2) Standard Air Registered (INCLUDES TRACKING) but has a less predictable delivery time.
