FUROSHIKI

Today, 2/23 is the day for Wrapping (TSUTSUMI) in Japan.
Japan has a culture of wrapping instead of carrying in bags that have a still shape. FUROSHIKI is a piece of square cloth, usually made of silk, that is used to wrap and carry. It comes in various sizes and color, so you can enjoy different designs for all four seasons.

When you bring a present to your friends' house, instead of carrying it in a paper bag wrap it in a FUROSHIKI so you don't have to leave extra waste. It will be elegant, and to make it even better, you can even give the FUROSHIKI as a present too.


There is a fancy FUROSHIKI shop in Kagurazaka that you may want to visit.

The owner, Keiko, was living in France for a while. Ask her for support in choosing which FUROSHIKI for certain occasions. The photo on this article is from YAMATONADESHIKO.
