Product Detail
The pattern of shells depicted on this furoshiki wrapping cloth is a symbol of happiness for married couples in Japan.
During the Heian period (794-1185 CE), a game called kai-awase was popular in Japan. The object of the game was to match a pair of clams decorated with gold leaf. This game is based on the fact that bivalve shells can only be combined with the same shell. For this reason, the pattern of shells has come to symbolize the hope of meeting one's destiny.
It is a perfect design for wrapping gifts for your loved ones or arranging them into bags.
