Zusetsu | Cathy Hughes Illustrations

I'm a children's book illustrator who fell so much in love

with the creativity and tradition of Japan's ancient capital Kyoto that I opened an online store!

Vintage Japanese woodblock prints, artist sketches, and beautiful reprints of artwork from the original cherry wood blocks!

Beautiful, contemporary furoshiki gift-wraps from Kyoto!

I love designing our Zusetsu-brand furoshiki. Our Snowflower design is screen-printed by hand in Kyoto!

Beautiful washi and origami papers from Kyoto!

Gorgeous tenugui wall-art and wall-hanging kits to brighten up your home!

Beautiful bags of true artistry made with skill and care in Kyoto!

Artisan deep-dyed washi trays from Kyoto with patterns inspired by kimono!

Come and see us at Zusetsu for these and many more beautiful items

as well as lots of information on furoshiki wrapping, including videos and illustrated diagrams.
