The design captures a moment of Japanese spring poetry: A large, cream-colored \u003cstrong\u003efull moon\u003c\/strong\u003e rises in a deep blue night sky, while countless \u003cstrong\u003eSakura (桜)\u003c\/strong\u003e blossoms dance in soft pink, violet, and cream tones before it. Discreetly woven cherry blossom silhouettes add extra depth and an almost meditative aura to the motif. The epithet \u003cstrong\u003eShizuka (しずか, \"silent\")\u003c\/strong\u003e alludes to the special mood – that reverent tranquility when the cherry blossoms glow at night during \u003cstrong\u003eYozakura (夜桜)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the night viewing of blossoms. Sakura symbolizes \u003cstrong\u003ebeauty, transience, and new beginnings\u003c\/strong\u003e and is arguably the most famous symbol of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Advantages at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable size for many applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for larger gifts, bottles, as a carrying bag with knots (with our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/furoshiki-ledergriffe-braun\"\u003eleather handles\u003c\/a\u003e in three colors, even an elegant handbag) or as a decorative accent at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTextured fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/glossar\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecotton shantung\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is tactile, knots reliably, and gives the cloth a high-quality texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReusable instead of disposable:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Furoshiki can be used again and again – aesthetics meets sustainable packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e▸ \u003cstrong\u003eHow do I tie a Furoshiki into a carrying bag?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can learn the classic knotting techniques \"Bin Tsutsumi\" (for bottles) or \"Otsukai Tsutsumi\" (as a carrying bag) in just a few minutes.
