Among Musubi’s most colorful furoshiki wrapping cloths, and one of our favourites, the Stripe Horse marries abstract graphics with a little whimsy for a delightfully bold double-sided design. Incredibly versatile, it’s large enough to use as a tablecloth, fashion into a bag, or simply be hung as artwork.
Textile designer Masaru Suzuki plays on the paler appearance of dyes on the reverse side of the fabric to create two colour palettes for his Stripe Water Horse pattern. One side is dyed with a bright blue rectangular horse standing among scarlet shapes, while the other is printed with bold black stripes. The result is a textile that looks stunning no matter which way it is used.
To see a green-toned version of Masaru’s work, take a look at his Water Bird furoshiki. To see other furoshiki and accessories, check out our Musubi full collection.
