Furoshiki is a wrapping cloth very commonly used in Japan. It can be used to wrap anything from your lunch, groceries to clothes and even waterproof ones can protect your belongings from the rain, and it’s part of emergency disaster kits for citizens of the country.
Furoshiki is always square, therefore like Origami, tied and folded into different shapes. Never sewn and never cut into. We make bags with Furoshiki of course!
Furoshiki has been used for more than 1300 years. There’s a record from Nara period (710-974) where citizens would keep their valuables in cloths called Tsutsumi, a wrapping which is the predecessor of Furoshiki. Overtime, people started to use them for daily use.
