History and uses of furoshiki
Wrapping cloths are part of Japanese culture and 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'.
