Connected by Hearts in Atlanta! Thank You Japan Fest 2026!

Hello everyone!

What an incredible two days! Japan Fest in Atlanta has wrapped up, and my heart is so full.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and joined our workshops!

◆ What a Single Cloth & 'Ma-musubi' Taught Us

In our workshop, we practiced the basic knot called 'Ma-musubi' (the square knot).

At first glance, it’s so simple. Just another tiny routine task in our daily lives.

But when you focus your fingertips, tie it tight, and then smoothly untie and fold the cloth… something magical happens.
Your mind feels suddenly centered and calm.

It reminds us that big, beautiful insights are often hidden inside simple, everyday routines.
That’s the quiet wisdom a simple Furoshiki cloth shares with us.

With just one knot, a square cloth transforms into a bag, a wine tote, or an elegant gift wrap.

How was your experience discovering all these possibilities?

If you had fun or tried it at home, I’d be over the moon if you left a comment or tagged us on social media!

◆ Heartfelt Thanks to Our Supporting Partners

I also want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who made this workshop and exhibition possible.

First, a huge thank you to JETRO and the Amazon 'Japan Store' program for empowering Japanese businesses to expand into the US.
Being able to participate for our 3rd consecutive year means the world to us. Thank you for walking alongside us for so long!

And to the amazing JAPAN FEST organizing team for creating such a vibrant event.
Meeting Manager Lily-san in person was a true highlight for me!

Furoshiki is a traditional craft deeply rooted in daily Japanese culture and human connection.
One day, I hope to be invited directly by JAPAN FEST for a Furoshiki workshop because of how much love we share for this culture!
I hope to see you again in Japan Fest next year!

◆ From Me to You, with Love

Our two days in Atlanta flew by, but being able to talk with you face-to-face and see you touch our products made me so unbelievably happy.
I genuinely fell in love with everyone I met!♡

What I want to deliver goes way beyond just a product.
It’s the warm connection that spreads from one person to their loved ones.

Please think of your MUSUBISM Furoshiki as a little piece of me, and enjoy using it in your everyday life!

◆ Show Us Your Furoshiki on Social Media!

'Look how I used the knot from the workshop!'

'I brought my Furoshiki bag out today!'

If you have photos or stories, please tag us and share! I can’t wait to see how you bring Furoshiki into your life.

Thank you again to everyone I met in Atlanta.

I can’t wait to see you all again!

MUSUBISM
