Furoshiki "Ume Zukushi" (Large)

Abundance of Plum Blossoms – the First Sign of Spring in Red and Blue

This cheerful Furoshiki is called 大布 梅 UME づくし (Ōfu Ume Zukushi) – "Large Cloth, Plum Blossom Collection". The design celebrates the Ume (梅), the Japanese plum, whose blossoms traditionally announce the arrival of spring in Japan – often while snow is still on the ground and before the cherry blossoms appear. The motif features an all-over, lively interplay of stylized Ume blossoms in vibrant red and contrasting navy blue, complemented by delicate star and ray motifs. A distinctive blue border frames the composition, lending the cloth its finished, elegant character. In Japanese symbolism, the plum blossom stands for perseverance, hope, and new beginnings – qualities it has earned by daring to bloom even in the cold.
