How to wrap with furoshiki
A furoshiki (風呂敷) is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth.
Learn the simple folds and knots used in furoshiki wrapping. Start with the two knots, then wrap a gift, a book, a lunch box, or a bottle.
No tape. No waste. Just one square of cloth, ready to be used again. The wrapping becomes part of the gift. It is kept. Or passed on.
The two knots
Start with hitotsumusubi and mamusubi. The only two knots you need.

Pass it on

Address the insert
Write the recipient's name on an insert and place it inside the gift. They can scan the QR to learn the basics of furoshiki.
2
Leave blank cards inside
Include the blank inserts as well. When the time comes, they too can pass it on.
