A beautiful reversible Furoshiki featuring the classic Japanese Camellia pattern. The camellia flower, also known as Tsubaki in Japan, has been cherished for centuries for its simple beauty, elegance, and dignified appearance.

For many rope enthusiasts, a Furoshiki is more than just a piece of fabric. It's a beautiful and practical way to store your favourite ropes, protect smaller pieces of equipment, or wrap a special rope as a gift.

This Furoshiki is part of the acclaimed Isa Monyo series, created by the Isa Monyo Research Institute, founded by Kunio Isa, one of Japan's most influential artists in stencil art. The series revives traditional Japanese patterns and breathes new life into them with modern designs.

The reversible design is created using a special Japanese technique, where both sides carry the same pattern, but in different colours. This gives the cloth two distinct looks and allows you to switch between them depending on your mood or the occasion.

The large format makes the cloth perfect for storing ropes from our [[INTERNET LINK → Shibari & Kinbaku Rights]but it can naturally also be used as traditional Japanese gift wrapping, a small bag, scarf or as a beautiful detail for Yukata and Kimono.

Many also choose to combine their Furoshiki with a [[INTERNET LINK → Tenugui]and a[INTERNET LINK → Ropes & Riggers Rebtaske]to keep ropes and equipment on a boat in a practical and aesthetic way.

The camellia flower is also known by the name Tsubaki, which many will also recognise from[INTERNET LINK → Tsubaki Oil & Skincare]which gets its name from the same beautiful Japanese plant.
