Portrait

A single figure is drawn as a picture on the furoshiki. Like the landscape layout, it reads best on a flat face or opened out.

20th century; ukiyo-e and painted furoshiki

A single figure drawn as a picture belongs to the same development as landscape furoshiki: pieces designed to be admired spread out, often reproducing paintings or ukiyo-e prints such as actor and beauty portraits. It is mainly a modern gift and souvenir style rather than a traditional wrapping layout.
