The back of the Fukusa showcases the Paulownia family crest which was based on the flowers and leaves of the paulownia tree. This crest is among one of the most famous and historically significant crests in Japan. Fukusas were used to wrap gifts for formal occasions and then returned to the owner, the crest tells us that it belonged to the Paulownia family. Perfect for collectors of Asian antiques or those seeking a sophisticated addition to their home decor, this piece showcases the beauty and artistry of Japanese culture.
