Furoshiki aren’t just traditional Japanese wrapping cloths — depending on their design, they can make your belongings look like bright and colorful works of art.
Fuku Cochae is a collection of furoshiki collaboratively designed by design unit Cochae and Yamada Sen-I, a furoshiki manufacturer based in Kyoto. With a variety of sizes to choose from, wrapping cloths from the collection will let you carry gifts, lunch boxes, and other items beautifully enveloped in unique, whimsical fabric.

The smallest 48cm cloths are perfect for wrapping little gifts and lunch boxes, and are ideal for daily use. The largest 70cm-sized furoshiki are big enough to wrap bottles of sake, and larger gift boxes. But the best part about these wrapping cloths isn’t in their utility. It’s the large selection of Japan-themed patterns to choose from. Patterns include:
