Furoshiki "Ichimatsu Komon Asobi" (Large)

The Small-Pattern Chessboard Game – A Patchwork of Japanese Tradition

This sophisticated Furoshiki is named 大布 市松小紋あそび (Ōfu Ichimatsu Komon Asobi) – "Large Cloth, Chessboard Small-Pattern Game." The epithet Asobi (あそび, "Game") already hints at its playful character: The classic Ichimatsu (市松) chessboard pattern is reinterpreted here, with each individual square featuring a different traditional Japanese Wa-Komon (和小紋) – Asanoha (hemp leaf), Seigaiha (waves), Shippō (seven treasures), checkered, stripes, dots, and many more. Harmonious shades of blue, from deep navy to delicate sky blue, complemented by warm cream tones, create a vibrant patchwork that reveals new details with every glance. The Ichimatsu pattern symbolizes prosperity, continuity, and family happiness – here combined with the diversity of Japanese textile patterns to create a true collector's item for lovers of tradition.
