As a special present

Furoshiki is a type of Japanese traditional cloth that is used for wrapping , storing and carrying
things. It is utilitarian and beatiful. There are variety of patterns, materials and sizes.
"infomap Japan" has more information about furoshiki and also travel, accomodation info.
There is a link to "pod cast Japan" in the site, that is very impress too.
I love useing furoshiki whenever i go. This pattern is mix well with modern style like a jeans.

When I was kids my family visited relatives on holiday and always my mum brought some gift for them like a some sweets in the box, the box was wrapped by furoshiki. It is a Japanese culture the wrap some articles with furoshiki as a special present and bring to them.
