History and uses of furoshiki 

In Japan, wrapping cloths (known as furoshiki) are a tradition.
They are a fabulous, eco-friendly way of wrapping objects including and wine bottles, clothes & gifts. Furoshiki embraces the philosophy of eco-friendly living by challenging us on how many items we really need. This beautiful and ingenious art allows one object to have many uses simply by folding and tying the cloth in a different way.

While Japanese culture is not alone in using fabric wrapping, furoshiki has a distinctive style reflecting Japanese interest in ceremony, beauty, multi-functional objects and thoughtfulness in detail as an approach to everyday life.

Cloth wrappings have been used for over 1200 years in Japan and the word furoshiki dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868) when cloths were commonly used in bath houses to wrap clothes and as a bath mat. The word furoshiki means 'bath spread'.

Over time, Japanese people developed a multitude of uses and patterns that are both elegant and functional. One furoshiki cloth can be used as :
a gift wrapping;
a bag for shopping
a handbag decoration;
a picnic hamper
a tablecloth
a household decor
a scarf, belt or bandana
a way of wrapping clothes when travelling
