[foo-roe · she-key]
Furoshiki is the Japanese art of fabric wrapping using a square piece of cloth. Furoshiki can be used for gift wrapping, transporting items, home decor, and more. The word refers both to the craft and to the cloth itself, which usually has an elegant, decorative design.
Furoshiki can be made from any cloth material such as scarves, fabric remnants, and recycled clothing. Furoshiki is a beautiful, artful, and environmentally conscious way to adorn your gifts.
This holiday season, we encourage you to partake in the practice of Furoshiki in lieu of disposable wrapping paper. You can even upcycle the Furoshiki you receive as gift wrapping, home décor, and encourage your recipients to do the same.
