Furoshiki is the Japanese art of wrapping things in simple squares of cloth, be it for transport, protection, decoration or as a gift.
Like many things Japanese, this is both very simple in essence,yet precise and nice to the eye. There are countless techniques to wrap differently sized or shaped object in the most aesthetically pleasant and practical way, while only using standard squares of decorative cloth.
You can use those techniques in your everyday life, to make bags, carry things, pack you lunch, or use this decorative wrapping form as a gift wrap.
It can also be useful if you're into camping, backpacking or survival, as it provides a nice way to store, carry or segregate items, without needing you to pack additional containers. The cloth itself you'll probably already have with you, and it will serve many other purposes while not in it's packaging form.
