Therefore, this time, we will approach the charm of "Furoshiki", which is also an item that excites the interior, as well as everyday use, and "Tenugui", which has been close to the Japanese life of the furoshiki.I visited the shop "Jikan Style Kitte Marunouchi Store", which handles furoshiki and towel, and told the manager, Chiharu Koji, in detail, from the history of furoshiki and the towel to the use of the life scene.

A necessity for Japanese life that has been loved since the Nara and Muromachi period!The story of a furoshiki / towel you don't know

Before knowing how to use furoshiki and towel, we asked Kodera about why it was called "furoshiki" in the first place, and when the towel was used.

"There are various theories, but it was due to the Muromachi period that the furoshiki came to be called" furoshiki ". As the name suggests, it was used in the bathroom.It seems that there was a culture that brought it to, wrapped in a kimono so that it could not be doubtful with others, or even after the bath, laid the cloth on your feet and prepared it. "Mr., the same below)

"There are various theories, but the origin dates back to the Nara period. It is said that the original type of towel was used as a dress in the shelter. In the Edo period, cotton cultivation became popular.A lot of kimonos made with cotton fabrics are now made. It is said that the end of the end in the process of the tailoring has penetrated into the lives of the common people as a "towel."It seems that it was versatile to use it for dust. "

The charm of furoshiki / towel, which attracts attention from the SDGs and disaster prevention perspective

Furoshiki and towel, which have been used as convenient tools in the daily life of Japanese people.Its charm has not been lost even in the current era of peace.Recently, attention has been paid to SDGs and disaster prevention.He taught me the benefits of such a furoshiki and towel and how to use it.

・ Not caught by the size of the wrapped object

"I think it's a great attraction to wrap a variety of things without being captured by the size of the wrapped object, while the capacity is fixed, while the furoshiki is not captured by the size of the wrapped thing.There are many sizes, such as 50cm width (Haba) and large -format 105cm widths that can be used for eco -back and interior fabrics, so you can use them properly depending on what you want to wrap. "

・ You can freely arrange how to use

"One of the charms is that it can be used not only for wrapping but also for various purposes. It can be enjoyed as an interior goods, such as wrapping it on a sofa or table. The fabric becomes softer every time you wash it, so as a scarf.It is cute even if you wrap it around your neck. Recently, the use of shopping bags and the rise of SDGs have been reviewed as an eco -bag. Not only can you use it and use it repeatedly, but you don't use it.Because it is not bulky and bulky, it is convenient to just put one in the bag. "

・ High versatility that can be used in an emergency

"There is no rule on how to use the towel. As the name suggests, you can use it as a handkerchief or towel to wipe your hands, use it as a dust from a computer or a mirror, or use it as a cloth for cleaning.You can also wrap a lot of things. It is also attracting attention from the viewpoint of disaster prevention. It can be used as a triangular width or a little cut with scissors, so it can be used as an emergency bandage.It is possible. The versatility that is useful not only in everyday life but also in emergencies is a great attraction of towels. "

・ Bacteria are difficult to accumulate, hygienic

"There is also a reason why the edge of the towel is cut off. Normal handkerchiefs are bent and sewn so that the fabric does not fray, but the towel is dared to sew.By not sewing, the fabric is flat. Therefore, the drainage is dried quickly, so it has the advantage that bacteria are difficult to accumulate.Let's do it.

Abundant designs that you can choose your favorite pattern and enjoy visually

Although it is a rich furoshiki and a towel, "richness of design" is also a point of attention.The Jikan Style, which we interviewed this time, also handles hundreds of design products, such as those with traditional Japanese motifs, modern geometric patterns, and character collaboration products.

Simple designs that are easy to use in everyday life., I think you will surely find one of your favorite pieces. It is good to use it everyday, but it is also the charm of furoshiki and Tenugui that you can decorate and enjoy it visually. "

In addition, Jikan Style's towel has a great commitment to "dyeing technology"."The towel handled by our company is made by the dyeing technique called" Chusen "that continues since the early Meiji era.
