Furoshiki cotton 70cm of Hokusai

Medium-sized Furoshiki: 70 x 70 cm, made from organic cotton. Featuring Hokusai’s iconic "Red Fuji" design, this furoshiki has a smooth texture and a linen-like feel with fine ridges on the surface.

While it may feel slightly firm for use as a scarf, its size is perfect for wrapping gift boxes, wine bottles, or using as an eco-friendly shopping bag for small purchases. Its timeless design, inspired by Hokusai’s famous woodblock print, also makes it a popular choice for use as a tapestry.

The furoshiki is wrapped with a decorative paper band featuring a motif inspired by the design. The band includes an explanation of the ukiyo-e artwork in both Japanese and English. The reverse side offers practical tips for using the furoshiki based on its size and material.

This masterpiece, commonly referred to as "Red Fuji," captures the grandeur and mystique of Mount Fuji through its simple yet striking composition. The term "Red Fuji" refers to the phenomenon of Mount Fuji being bathed in the red hues of the morning sun during late summer to early autumn. While there are differing opinions on whether Hokusai intentionally aimed to depict this scene, the ukiyo-e reflects the season with details such as the cirrocumulus clouds and snow patches. Even the subtle grainy texture of the woodblock technique beautifully enhances the depiction of the mountain’s surface.
