This Christmas we have been trying out new ways to wrap our presents. We have heard a lot about the Japanese wrapping and tying method of furoshiki and wanted to have a go.

A furoshiki wrapping cloth is a single rectangular or square piece of fabric (in our case a tea towel). The wrap was originally referred to as tsutsumi and has gone through several transformations over the centuries. It was used as early as 710 in Japan. By 1336 bathhouses used the cloths to bundle bathers’ clothes, and also to stand on while drying off. During this time they gained the name furoshiki, meaning “bath spread.”

Here’s one we made earlier – we have wrapped a lovely cook book and slotted a wooden spoon through the knot. Here is our how to reel.
