Description

This furoshiki is made of a cream-colored fabric. A large, multicolored image seated at the lower right corner expands and fills much of the cloth, featuring a brown and gold wheelbarrow overflowing with flowers and leaves, representing the four seasons. There are peonies and wisteria for summer, chrysanthemums and red maple for autumn, plum blossoms for winter, and sakura (cherry blossoms) for spring.
