Furoshiki Japanese Wrapping Cloth "Cats Suggested as the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" made in Japan 48x48cm

Cat-inspired Japanese art for everyday giving

Bring Japanese art into your gift-giving with this furoshiki featuring “Cats Suggested as the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō” by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Made in Japan, this approximately 48 cm square wrapping cloth combines a cat-themed ukiyo-e motif with the versatility of reusable fabric wrapping.

Imagine choosing a small gift for someone who loves cats or Japanese art, folding the cloth around it and tying the corners. Once the present is opened, the wrapping can be kept and enjoyed again, making the cloth part of the gift itself.

Ways to enjoy your furoshiki

• Wrap a suitably sized small gift for a personal fabric-wrapped presentation.
• Try it around a small lunch box, allowing enough fabric to cover the box and tie the corners.
• Display it as a decorative textile to enjoy the ukiyo-e motif.
• Add a cat-inspired accent to a suitably sized shelf or tabletop.

A compact size for smaller items

Measuring approximately 48 × 48 cm (18.9 × 18.9 in), this is a compact furoshiki rather than a large carrying cloth. The shape of your item and the wrapping method determine how much fabric you need. Allow extra cloth for tying; the cloth measurements are not the maximum dimensions of a gift it can wrap.

About furoshiki

Furoshiki are traditional Japanese cloths used to wrap and carry belongings and present gifts. They can be folded, untied and reused in different ways, offering an alternative to disposable gift wrapping and a textile to enjoy at home.

A gift idea for cat and art lovers

Choose it for someone who enjoys cats, ukiyo-e or Japanese textiles. Give the cloth on its own, or use it to add an art-inspired finishing touch to a birthday present or thank-you gift.
