Product History
When did these crafts start to craft?：1400 years ago / 600AD / Yamato period in Japan
It is said that feudal lords wrapped their clothes while bathing, and after bathing, they laid the wrapped cloth down and changed their clothes. The name "furoshiki" (it means "lay in the bath" in Japanese) was derived from the fact that laying the cloth was done in the bath. Today, it is a substitute that is being re-evaluated from the perspective that it can be used over and over again, like an eco-bag.

Income for Craftsman: Craftsman get only less than 10% of selling price?
As written above, craftsman have not controlled last phase of sales channel that resulting in selling price is set by third-party without craftsman’s recognition.
