Kokura-ori Rokuhachi Furoshiki (68 cm)/Water-repellent/Okura stripes
Ogura-ori, a traditional craft of the Toyomae-Okura clan, has been woven into hakama and obi since the early Edo period (1603-1868). Once discontinued in the early Showa period, it was restored by hand weaving and later successfully machine-woven into a durable modern cloth.
Kokuraorihasbeenwovensince the early Edo period (1603-1868)for use as hakama and obi belts in the Toyomae Kokura domain (Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture). The warp yarn used in the weaving creates a rhythm of colors, and the warp stripes have a three-dimensional feel.
Rokuhachi Furoshiki is the most suitable size for wrapping confectionary folds.
Kokura-ori is a traditional Japanese textile. The characteristic of Ogura-ori is that it is soft to the touch and the fabric is firm. Another feature is that there is no difference between the reverse side and the front side. Tie it up and it makes a cute little bag. A bottle of wine makes a nice wrapping.
It can also be used to wrap a bottle of wine. Furoshiki is also useful as an eco-bag and disaster prevention goods. It is water-repellent, so it can be quickly wrapped up in a sudden rain.
