Furoshiki is a Japanese custom, tradition and accessory which goes back over a thousand years. Today’s furoshiki cloth was initially called a tsutsumi, meaning wrapping, and was first used during the Nara Period (710-794) as cloth protection for the precious items found in Japanese temples. Over the years, its role changed a little and now it is most commonly used to transport everyday items and wrap gifts.
Furoshiki offer a beautiful alternative to conventional wrapping paper, adding a unique touch to any gift. They also have a knack for wrapping gifts of various shapes and sizes, so no more awkward paper folding and sticking!
