Watch Out for Counterfeits from China! MUSUBISM Photos Are Being Used Without Permission.
We recently found cases where MUSUBISM photos are being used without permission on Chinese shopping sites.
As soon as we find a listing, we request removal and take action, yet in many cases the sellers do not respond, which makes this difficult.
What I want you to know most is this.
Even if the photos look the same, the product is not the same.
It is not the same fabric, not the same dyeing, and not the same sewing.
With counterfeits like these, it is easy to feel disappointed when the item arrives.
How MUSUBISM furoshiki are made
MUSUBISM furoshiki are hand screen printed at Fukuda Nassen.
Artisans dye each piece one by one.
The layered colors, the character of the lines, and the clean negative space are details that are hard to achieve with machine printing.
Small variations are part of the beauty of handwork, and each furoshiki has its own expression.
Sewn in Japan
Dyeing is only the first step.
All MUSUBISM furoshiki are also sewn in Japan.
Corners, edges, and finishing matter.
Furoshiki are meant to be tied and used. The more you use them, the more the quality of the sewing shows.
That is why we focus on a finish that feels good in daily life.
Furoshiki is a Japanese word. So what?
Furoshiki is a tool that has grown with everyday life in Japan over a long history.
Wrapping, tying, carrying. Because people have used it for generations, there are standards behind how it should be made.
This is not about saying “because it is Japanese, it must be made in Japan.”
For you as a buyer, what matters is clear responsibility.
When a seller steals photos, they also abandon responsibility.
The contact information is unclear. The origin description is vague. What arrives does not match the photo.
To avoid those risks, MUSUBISM continues to make furoshiki in Japan with clear makers and clear origins.

An update on the Shoji pattern, we are remaking it to protect quality
For those waiting, thank you.
The latest Shoji pattern batch did not reach our standard, so we decided to remake it.
Hand screen printing is done by people, so it comes with challenges.
Still, we chose to redo the work rather than ship something we cannot stand behind.
Our artisans are working hard to deliver the best possible quality.
Please stay alert for photo based imitations
MUSUBISM furoshiki are made with hand screen printing in Japan and sewing in Japan.
We want to deliver a piece you can enjoy for a long time in your daily life.
