Welcome to Zusetsu
Welcome to Zusetsu, your online store for quality furoshiki from Kyoto, Japan. Here you will find lots of help and ideas for creating your own beautiful gift-wrapping and furoshiki bags.
​
Traditional, quality furoshiki from Kyoto for an environmentally conscious lifestyle
Contemporary furoshiki knot-wraps evolved from the textiles that carefully wrapped the treasures of the Imperial family, just outside Kyoto. Now you can create these wonderful styles, and be a part of an on-trend movement that is choosing sustainability and reusability over disposable paper and plastics.
​
To complement our growing range of furoshiki, we have more pretty gifts from the elegant city of Kyoto that are created using skills passed down through generations: beautiful brocade purses that use the weaving skills of Nishijin-ori, and deep-dyed washi paper gifts inspired by kimono patterns.
​
We're excited to have added to our collection of screenprinted textiles with a small range of beautiful tenugui wall-hangings, from Yokohama, which is just south of Tokyo!
​
Why not choose a gift that is elegant and unique!

Artist Harriet Chard @harrietchard_art painted a beautiful composition of delicate early-summer flowers set in a furoshiki-wrapped vase. The furoshiki is our 48cm Japanese Apricot Blue/Beige, and it's thrilling to see it captured so perfectly!
Our lovely customer Rachel made this beautiful tapestry and gift-wrapped it in our extra large Isa Monyo Knot furoshiki. What a wonderfully special present!
We love hearing from all of you, and seeing your wonderful furoshiki wraps, so do keep in touch!
