Wrapping with Fabric (Furoshiki) Review & Giveaway

The Ribbon Bag from WRAPPING with FABRIC by Etsuko Yamada securely holds my origami book and paper for transport! Add a touch of Japanese style and ingenuity to your day-to-day life with the ancient art of furoshiki. It's a centuries-old Japanese tradition of beautifully wrapping objects in fabric to gift or carry. Attractive photos of women and children, even men using their furoshiki inspired me to grab a scarf and start experimenting with the versatile designs. I am delighted with the results and now use my own furoshiki. This book will teach you folding and knotting techniques to wrap and carry just about anything comfortably and elegantly. Sections on Furoshiki Sizes and Uses, Design and Materials followed by Etiquette: A Few Basics, are informative and interesting. Get your copy below.
