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
with the image of the gaurdian god, Fudo-Myo-O
35.5” x 35.5” $90.00

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.

NEW ARRIVAL

Yoshiaki Yuki’s newest item will also be available for this special occasion. It is a crepe furoshiki, a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. The dynamic Fudo-Myo-O design has always been one of Yuki’s main Jizaiga art motifs, and it continues to fascinate those who come across it.


It is not only a beautiful piece of art, but furoshiki, in general, can be used in many practical ways such as a beautiful gift wrapping, a lightweight carryall or as a decorative item. Because they are reusable, 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.

________________________________________________

Depending on the item, prices will range from around $35.00 and up. Should you have any questions on our Winter Table & Gift selection, please do not hesitate to contact us.

"Yoshiaki Yuki at Clodagh Collection" concluded with success



The highlight of the exhibition was gallery gen’s exclusive video
interview with Jack Lenor Larsen and with Clodagh.
They both shared with us their passion for art & design,
their influences from Asian art, and their views on Yoshiaki Yuki’s
world. This video interview will soon be available online at
www.yoshiakiyuki.com.

While many of Yuki's art works have been returned to our
showroom in Long Island City, some of his works continue to be
on display at the Clodagh showroom. If you were not able to
come to the exhibition, you can still see some of gallery gen’s
current collection there.
