I have been making furoshiki, a type of traditional Japanese textile, for about 10 years from Tokyo, Japan. I started this brand with my friend Lucinda Newton-Dunn, who is British and lived in Tokyo for about five years. We started to make some unique products together. We wanted to make something unique mixed with Japanese craftsmanship, but not only for collectors of traditional Japanese things. We thought they should be Westernised, more casual, more modern products. That’s why we started to make furoshiki textiles.
