WHAT IS FUROSHIKI? Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese cultural art dating back to the Nara period (AD 710 to 794).

It is washable, collapsible, and durable. Furoshiki is typically used to transport and carry a bundle of things, to wrap gifts to save on the use of paper, wrapping a bento box, and serving as a tablecloth or picnic blanket (47” Yohaba 四巾).
