Furoshiki, the Japanese craft of wrapping with fabric, is a time-honoured art form that embodies the wabi-sabi philosophy of 'reduce, reuse and recycle'.

More than this, it explains the philosophy behind the 'one time, many uses' Furoshiki fabric, the Japanese etiquette of colour and the history of a craft that has been passed down through many generations and remains a fun and useful practice.
