Water Bird Reversible Cloth by Masaru Suzuki - 39.5"

Layers of light and shape, fluid as a bird in flight.

With softly overlapping arcs and geometric curves, “Water Bird” evokes ripples across a pond, wings mid-flap, and the quiet rhythm of nature. Designed by textile artist Masaru Suzuki, this double-sided furoshiki offers a modern graphic take on traditional Japanese wrapping cloths—bold enough to stand alone as wall art, soft enough for wearable styling, and versatile enough for gifting.

Suzuki’s work dances between form and color. In this exclusive collaboration with Musubi, he brings fluid movement and saturated palette play to organic cotton, crafted for beauty in everyday moments.

Printing Details

This furoshiki is printed using Nassen reactive dye printing, a high-precision screen-printing method practiced by Yamada Seni in Japan. Unlike traditional workshops that print only one face of the cloth, Yamada Seni specializes in an unusually demanding technique: double-sided printing.

Creating a reversible design requires perfect registration between multiple screens on both sides of the fabric—so each arc, curve, and block of color aligns cleanly without bleed-through. Reactive dyes are driven into the cotton fibers (rather than sitting on the surface), resulting in a print that is richly saturated yet soft to the touch.

Very few mills in Japan can execute this level of technical control. The result is a cloth that feels almost sculptural in its depth—one design flowing across two faces, each with its own mood and palette. It's visually striking as wall art, beautifully balanced as a wearable, and a testament to the craft innovation happening in today’s Japanese textile studios.

This is why Musubi’s double-sided furoshiki are so beloved:
they’re functional textiles elevated through artist collaboration and cutting-edge dye technique.

A special piece, through and through.
