Yoshiaki Yuki Crepe Furoshiki
gallery gen has just received Yoshiaki Yuki’s latest item, his crepe furoshiki.
This furoshiki was created using one of Japanese tradition textiles known as Tango Chirimen. The history of chirimen ("crepe" in English) in the Tango region of Japan (currently the Northern part of Kyoto Prefecture) dates back to AD 750. The main characteristic of this type of crepe is its supple texture, which is created by weaving strongly twisted threads together. This textile officially became known as Tango chirimen about 250 or more years ago, during the mid Edo era.
Yuki’s crepe furoshiki is polyester and is woven on a traditional silk crepe weaving machine. In olden days crepe textile was woven in silk. In recent years, however, synthetic versions using rayon and polyester have become widely used alternatives. Polyester is more wrinkle-resistant than rayon, and its durability is also superior. Unlike silk which requires a high level of maintenance, polyester can be washed and does not require ironing.
It is not only a beautiful piece of art, but as a furoshiki, can be used in many practical ways such as a gift wrapping, a lightweight carryall or as a decorative item. Because they are durable, lightweight, and extremely compact when folded for storing, in Japan furoshiki are experiencing a resurgence in use and have recently become one of the country's most popular eco-friendly items.
Yuki’s crepe furoshiki (35.5” x 35.5”) is slightly larger in size than a typical furoshiki; making it much easier to wrap large objects, such as wine and sake bottles. Once you start using furoshiki, you will truly appreciate its usefulness as its versatility allows you to wrap almost anything regardless of its shape or size. It not only make a great gift idea, but using it as a gift wrapping, adds a unique element to that special holiday gift. This Fudo-Myo-O inspired crepe furoshiki is also available for purchase at Clodagh Collection’s Manhattan showroom.
