Their furoshiki stores are very new and their simple patterns are combination of traditional and modern geared toward teenagers. ENVERAAK is quite a mouthful in Japanese and we are still guessing how to pronounce the name of the store. When asked, the not too bright staff can't explain the meaning of the store name. Kind a makes you wonder. Shijo Store 四条店 location: Otutumi Ihee ENVERAAK Shijo-ten is near the Shijo-Kawaramachi intersection. It is on the north side of Shijo Street about 1 or 2 minutes on foot south from Kawaramachi Street.

Are there some other stores there selling nice furoshikis? It is a common product for Japanese so it is popular. Is that correct?
