My hope is that more people will adopt this time-honored Japanese tradition year-round. We are seeing a number of artists and businesses begin to offer furoshikis. My savvywraps are made from bona fide sustainable crop fabrics like hemp and organic cotton and non toxic block print inks. Thanks again for featuring the beauty of furoshiki -- a gift!

As well as looking great, they're so much better for wrapping awkward shaped items as the fabric just drapes. Also it's really easy to tie different wraps to suit the gift and the season. Oh and they're also brilliant for making quick, customised bags. We had a real blitz back in February / March posting ideas in our blog http://myfuroshiki.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html if you'd like to take a look. Happy wrapping!
