Folded Paper Black Furoshikihttps://linkcollective.com/Link produces contemporary furoshiki textiles through our network of artists and designers from around the world. We aim to cross cultures and generations by creating beautiful and functional products, merging international design with traditional Japanese production methods.We believe Japanese craftsmanship is second to none in terms of quality and attention to detail. It's because of this that all our furoshiki are hand-printed and sewn in Japan by a family-owned business with over 50 years experience in furoshiki production.Although Japan's craftsmen often spend a lifetime perfecting their artistry, much of that skill and knowledge is being lost as today's mass production, cost cutting and on-demand culture drives ever more business decisions. Invaluable knowhow is disappearing as tools are put down, and the last small factories and workshops die out.We hope to play a part in keeping these crafts alive by showing what can be achieved when creativity and craftsmanship come together.Link046WEB@linkcollectiveInstagramTOKYOAizukiri Canister Aizukiri canisterhttps://www.square-design.jpSQuare is a design company that mainly deals with space design and product design.Today, as the population is concentrated in these major cities, there is a severe issue of declining population in the regional areas.
