Maruwa has been manufacturing and wholesaling furoshiki, traditional Japanese wrapping cloths, in Kyoto for over 70 years. The company started "Kyoto e-Furoshikiya" to deliver furoshiki and spread awareness about Japanese culture. Maruwa views furoshiki as "a tool that wraps the heart," embodying a beautiful aspect of Japanese culture by putting thought and care into wrapping and carrying items. This tradition promotes rich relationships through consideration in selecting colors, patterns, and wrapping methods.
Furoshiki are unique in their ability to be folded up small and carried lightly, making them versatile and convenient for various uses. Maruwa aims to encourage everyone to use furoshiki stylishly, even for everyday items, and to enjoy the creativity and playfulness they offer. The company's furoshiki are designed to fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles while preserving the cultural significance of the time and effort involved in their use. This mindful approach fosters a sense of peace and appreciation in daily life.
Maruwa is committed to helping people communicate their hearts through furoshiki, spreading compassion and fostering good relationships. As a company with a 100-year vision, Maruwa strives to create a society where people live enriched lives by protecting and passing on the beautiful culture of furoshiki to future generations.
