A flower bottle cozy made of beautiful woven fabric
Cloth Flower Vase
We embrace the changing seasons with flower decorations. This can be enjoyed at any time with this flower
bottle cozy, inspired by the material used in kakejiku (Japanese hanging scrolls). Even if you
don’t have a vase specifically for flowers, this useful item can be used as a cloth festive flower vase
simply by placing it over an empty bottle.
Kakejiku in Japan highlight calligraphy or paintings, and have a beautiful textile frame. These
meticulously-woven fabrics with traditional Japanese patterns are called hyosogire. Patterns vary,
such as stylized natural motifs like clouds and water, or plant themes, such as plum blossoms and pine
trees. These exquisite fabrics, woven with gorgeous gold threads or a variety of traditional colors, make
for a charming interior item.
