This furoshiki shows chrysanthemum flowers in full bloom when looking directly from above, and has been arranged to look like beautiful fireworks. The bright red provides a sharp contrast to the sage blue, and you'll enjoy a change in expression as you unfold this furoshiki. The red and sage blue colour variation results in an eye catching combo when wrapping your bento box, and would be perfect to be used together with its sister furoshiki.

More about the pattern
Isa monyo (Isa pattern) is a pattern dyeing technique handed down since ancient times in Japan. The technique results in innovative. intricate and delicate patterns and is achieved by carving out the patterns on specially prepared paper using a knife or sword. This template paper is then placed over cloth or Japanese paper, and a series of gluing, dyeing and washing steps are taken that finally results in a dyed pattern on the target material. The sharp lines created by carving combined with the soft outline from the glue results in a work that expresses both sharpness and warmth. This furoshiki represents such works from that era in Japan.
