Bento&co | The Bento Shop - Furoshiki Ume
Furoshiki Ume
2,000 JPY
Furoshiki Ume is a 68 cm (26.7") square cloth decorated with a elegant pattern of red plum blossoms (ume) in a cream background. This piece of cloth will wrap your bento in a very colorful and delicate way.
The size is ideal to carry large bento such as Nishijin Bento.
Furoshiki are traditional Japanese wrapping cloths (Wikipedia). They used to be used for everything - as an impromptu bag, for wrapping things for storage, as a reusable gift wrapping. Furoshiki have been making a comeback in Japan in recent years, as a beautiful, reusable and eco-friendly way of wrapping things up!
How to wrap a bento box in a furoshiki
Place the bento box in the middle of the furoshiki. If the box is square in shape, place it on the diagona, so the sides are facing the corners of the cloth. Bring two opposite corners of the cloth over the box and tie securely. Bring the other two corners over the cloth, and tie again. You can find many more furoshiki tying instructions on this DVD for fancy knots that create carrying handles and so on, but the basic tying method is simple!

Furoshiki Ume is made of 100% rayon (synthetic silk). Handwashing is recommended.
