This robust cotton furoshiki (carrying cloth) from Japan dates to the mid-Showa period (1945–1960). Measuring approximately 39 inches by 40 inches (99 cm x 102 cm), the textile is dyed a deep forest green and was designed for the practical transportation of goods.

The cloth features two distinct white resist-dyed elements positioned at opposite corners. In the upper right, a sizable family crest (mon) depicts the mitsu-tomoe (triple comma) motif, a powerful symbol traditionally associated with Hachiman, the god of war, and often used to represent the cycle of life or protection against fire. In the lower left, bold Japanese kanji characters spell out "Besho" (別所), likely identifying the family or business name to which the cloth belonged. The piece is in very good condition, showing only slight stains and natural discoloration consistent with its age and utilitarian history.
