Arashiyama (嵐山 Storm Mountain) is a district on the western outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It also refers to the mountain across the Ōi River, which forms a backdrop to the district. Arashiyama is a nationally designated Historic Site and Place of Scenic Beauty.

Ryōan-ji (Shinjitai: 竜安寺, Kyūjitai: 龍安寺, The Temple of the Dragon at Peace) is a Zen temple located in northwest Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Myōshin-ji school of the Rinzai branch of Zen Buddhism. The Ryōan-ji garden is considered one of the finest surviving examples of kare-sansui ("dry landscape"), a refined type of Japanese Zen temple garden design generally featuring distinctive larger rock formations arranged amidst a sweep of smooth pebbles (small, carefully selected polished river rocks) raked into linear patterns that facilitate meditation. The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Kiyomizudera (清水寺, literally "Pure Water Temple") is one of the most famous temples of Japan. It was founded in 780 on the site of the Otowa Waterfall in the wooded hills east of Kyoto, and derives its name from the fall's pure waters. The temple was originally associated with the Hosso sect, one of the oldest schools within Japanese Buddhism, but formed its own Kita Hosso sect in 1965. In 1994, the temple was added to the list of UNESCO world heritage sites.

Sanzen-in (三千院) is a Tendai school monzeki temple in Ōhara, Kyoto, Japan. The Heian period triad of Amida Nyorai flanked by attendants is a National Treasure.
Sanzen-in Temple is the main attraction of the rural town of Ohara, which is located about an hour north of central Kyoto. The approach from Ohara bus stop to Sanzen-in is lined with shops and restaurants catering that attract temple visitors, and there are also smaller temples in the vicinity. Sanzen-in Temple itself has large temple grounds and a variety of buildings, gardens and walking paths.

About furoshiki

Wrapping cloths、known as furoshiki, have long been part of japanese tradition and culture
They are a fabulous, zero waste way of wrapping anything from products and wine bottles to clothes & gifts.

Furoshiki embraces the philosophy of eco-friendly living by challenging us on how many items we really need. This beautiful and ingenious art allows one object to have many uses simply by folding and tying the cloth in different ways.

While Japanese culture is not alone in using fabric wrapping, furoshiki has a distinctive style reflecting Japanese interest in ceremony, beauty, multi-functional objects and thoughtfulness in detail as an approach to everyday life.

Cloth wrapping has been used for over 1200 years in Japan and the word furoshiki, meaning bath spread, dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868) when the cloths were commonly used in bath houses to wrap clothes and as a bath mat. 

Over time, Japanese developed a multitude of uses and patterns that are both elegant and functional. One furoshiki cloth can be used as:
a gift wrapping
a bag for shopping
a handbag decoration
a picnic hamper
a tablecloth
a household decor
a scarf, belt or bandana
a way of wrapping clothes when travelling

In our store, there are many patterns you can choose, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you :)
