Meet the Artisan

Miyai Furoshiki

In 1897, Miyai Furoshiki, originally Miyai Dennosuke Shoten, began its journey in the heart of Japan's textile industry. Initially focusing on dyeing and wholesaling cloth, they soon discovered their niche in the art of furoshiki – the traditional Japanese wrapping cloths.  Over the decades, Miyai Furoshiki has become synonymous with furoshiki, not just for their dedication to quality and craftsmanship, but also for their innovative spirit. From meticulously hand-dyed silks in the early days to experimenting with roller printing and jacquard looms, they have consistently embraced new techniques while staying true to the essence of furoshiki. Their archives boast a fascinating collection that reflects these changes, including the beautiful Koshu Hachihata furoshiki, a pre-dyed high-grade silk piece reaching its peak production in the 1950s.

Today, their commitment to artistry and cultural preservation keeps them not only relevant but also revered as a leading artisan. Their exquisite furoshiki, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and high-quality materials, is a testament to their dedication. But their passion extends far beyond the product itself. They actively champion furoshiki and its place in Japanese culture through various initiatives. From sponsoring design competitions that encourage fresh perspectives on the art form to organizing exhibitions that showcase its rich history, Miyai Furoshiki fosters a vibrant community around furoshiki. Additionally, their global collaborations, such as the "Furoshiki Paris" project, demonstrate their dedication to introducing this beautiful tradition to a wider audience.
