History Of Furoshiki
Japan has an ancient culture, and the FUROSHIKI is one of the tools that Japanese people have used as a part of their daily life for centuries. The FUROSHIKI was first used an incredible 1200 years ago, where it was used to wrap and protect the Emperor's treasure in Nara. Even today, modern Japanese people use this cloth to protect their own valuable objects! The ancient traditions behind using the FUROSHIKI cloth come with this cultural significance imbued in it; Japanese people using wrapping and tying their possessions in a FUROSHIKI are engaging in a timeless ceremony of love, care and respect.
