Furoshiki is Japanese style wrapping cloth which is used for wrapping gifts and carrying items.
It has been around in Japan for more than 1000 years and it is available in many fabrics and different sizes. Fabric ranges include cotton, rayon, silk and chirimen. (Kyo Modern uses chirimen fabric in may products as well!)
There are many ways to wrap the gifts with Furoshiki. A friend of mine Yoshie offers Furoshiki wrapping courses in Sydney.
Her website is http://www.musubi.com.au/
The website explains about the history and use of Furoshiki in more details. She does regular workshops at Ryokan Gojyuan - 208 Darling Street, Balmain NSW.
Apart from Ryokan Gojyuan, she will be holding a workshop Art Gallery NSW on the 13th and 27th of November.
