Although furoshiki has principles dating back centuries, its modern reappraisal as a practical object and artistic expression demonstrates how tradition can coexist harmoniously with innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The furoshiki began as a traditional woven bag used to wrap bath items. The Japanese would put their personal belongings in a furoshiki and bring them with them to the baths, keeping them clean and neat. Over the centuries, this tradition evolved into a variety of uses, from gift wrapping to carrying food.<\/p>\n<p>However, furoshiki was not limited to its traditional use. During the 20th century, despite the widespread use of plastic packaging, some Japanese maintained their interest in furoshiki and revived it as a modern, environmentally friendly option. This became particularly pronounced after the 2000s, when awareness of the environmental impact of plastics increased. <em>The furoshiki was a viable alternative for packaging goods and transporting them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Innovation does not stop there. <strong>Artists and designers have taken advantage of furoshiki as a central element of creation.<\/strong> New designs, materials and uses have been created, transforming furoshiki from a simple fabric into a rich source of expression and creativity. Each pouch becomes a work of art, a means to convey our aesthetic and personality in an object we encounter every day.<\/p>\n<p>The history of the Japanese pouch reflects the way in which tradition can evolve and adapt to the needs of modern times. From a simple means of transporting towels, the furoshiki has become a symbol of sustainability, aesthetics and creativity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At MOMO KIDOHO, with respect to this tradition, we use Japanese fabrics and sew each pouch as a unique little piece of multi-purpose art.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Furoshiki in blue marine colour, with full size flowers.
