Miki Pimienta – Japanese Furoshiki

The Japanese Art of Wrapping is called Furoshiki. Japanese wrapping cloths, called Furoshiki, are traditionally used to wrap and/or transport goods. They are typically square and available in a variety of sizes, colors, and designs. Furoshiki can wrap virtually any shape and size by using simple wrapping techniques. It is perfect for wrapping gifts such as wine bottles, a box of candies, or a basket of fruits with a cloth specially selected for the gift recipient.
