Kakefuda Kyoto - Famous Furoshiki Store

During Golden Week 2007 we visited Kyoto. During our stay we went to one of the famous traditional “furoshiki” or cloth wrapping stores. The quality and colour of the material was amazing. We even got to see the furoshiki that Mick Jagger bought last year!

    absolutely amazing! My friend from Japan tried to demonstrate one by drawing it. An delighted to find your youtube! They also use a slightly more rectangular cloth to make more of a “hobo” bag that hangs from the shoulder to waist level.

    I hope there are some good fabric stores in the city, otherwise I would be a tad leery visiting! I’d hate to arrive “overdressed” to find everyone wandering around all “buffed up”… *wink* Thanks for the dialogue. Much appreciated.

    Hm… I’m not so sure you can call using the idea stealing. It’s a bit too old and a bit too widespread. Definitely awesome to use though. I hope she’ll try to find some fabrics. No idea what Ohio is like, but hopefully there are some good fabric stores in her city.

    Bingo! I put it up for everyone to get the IDEA, find some fabric they like, and steal away.

    Um, wouldn’t those in theory be easy to make? Wouldn’t the biggest problem be picking the fabrics? If you can’t make one, it shouldn’t be too difficult to commission a few from some friend or old grandmother or so, especially if you supply the fabrics.
