The Cohare Water-repellent Furoshiki in Hummingbird Green:
 
The inspiration for this design comes from a lovely old Japanese story:
When a forest fire occurred, the hummingbird carried each drop of water.
The other animals which were escaping from the forest said, “what is the point?”
The hummingbird replied to them, 'I’m doing the only thing I can do.'
Many people are moved by importance of this small power, and it's said that the 'drop' which was made first was the trigger for everything which followed.

The ivy in the design represents a strong life force and when combined with a hummingbird it becomes a lucky design.
