SOLD – Vintage silk Furoshiki – Mount Fuji
A beautiful vintage find from Mitsukoshi, the oldest and most exclusive department store in Japan, founded in 1673. This silk Furoshiki is crafted from Chirimen silk, a traditional Japanese silk fabric characterized by its distinctive bumpy, crimped surface texture known as Shibo. Supple yet durable, Chirimen drapes beautifully while retaining its strength, making it ideal for both practical and decorative use. It features a painting of Mount Fuji set against a warm pink background, by famous post-war painter Kaii Higashiyama. Specially created in celebration of Mitsukoshi’s 300th anniversary in 1973, signed by the artist. It comes in its original Paulownia wooden box and remains in good vintage condition. Can be used for gift wrapping, worn as a scarf or simply admired as a collectible work of Japanese textile art.
