Product Description 

The Bento Foods Furoshiki is a 50 cm (19.7") square cloth for wrapping your bento box that comes in two different colors, blue and orange. The Bento Foods Furoshiki is covered in various bento-related items, like Onigiri rice balls, octopus sausages, tamagoyaki egg omelettes, cherry tomatoes among others. It is a great cloth to wrap your lunch in! It doubles as a small tablecloth. The size is great for any of our bento boxes, and it goes well with with our genuine wood bento boxes.

Furoshiki are traditional Japanese wrapping cloths (Wikipedia). They can be used in many ways - as an impromptu bag, for wrapping things for storage, or 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 gift giving and beautifying one's daily life.

 
 

Details & Care 

Furoshiki Bento is made of 100% cotton. It is machine-washable (Use the gentle cycle and lukewarm water. Recommended maximum water temperature is 40 degrees C / 104 degrees F). It is relatively wrinkle-free, but you can iron it to make it pristine.
 
Made in Japan.
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 diagonal, so the sides are facing the corners of the cloth. Bring two opposite corners of the cloth over the box and tie securely. Then bring the other two corners over the cloth, and tie again. You can find instructions on the web for ways of wapping different objects in beautiful ways, such as how to wrap a wine bottle to make a handle for bringing to parties.
