The Art of Furoshiki Gift Wrapping Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese practice of using cloth to transport items, wrap gifts, and carry essentials. It embodies the beauty of simplicity and practicality. Furoshiki promotes sustainability as the wrapping cloth is reusable, reducing the need for disposable gift wrap. This wrapping method also allows for creative expression and personalization. The cloth itself can be chosen to suit the occasion or the recipient's preferences and there’s opportunity to add special touches in the knots, such as a sprig of rosemary or dried flowers.
As we look at how we can make sustainable choices this holiday season, ditching the typical plastic-based gift wrap and ribbons for either compostable wrapping paper or a method like furoshiki is an easy eco-friendly shift.
