Furoshiki and the Japanese Art of Gift Wrapping

Tomoko Kakita runs ma space design in London and teaches furoshiki, the Japanese practice of wrapping with a single square of cloth. Her book takes you through 30 wraps, from a simple knot for a bottle or a book to carrying everyday things, with no tape, scissors or paper to throw away.

It is the book that started our own interest in furoshiki, found by chance in a Japanese crafts shop in Seattle.
