Once when I took a look at instructables<\/a> I found the instruction Paper, Plastic, or Furoshiki?<\/a> which fascinated me: Japanese use since a long time a cloth to wrap all sorts of things, as well to transport as to decorate them. And the Japanese Minister for Environment created an initiative to reduce waste<\/a> to propagate Furoshiki as an ecological wrapping. Anyhow, I will try this more often :)<\/p>\n When researching I found also a nice idea<\/a>: to wrap a gift for someone into an interesting cloth and include a printout of the diagram of the Japanese Ministry of the Environment<\/a>. <\/a> Furoshiki Techniques<\/a><\/p>\n Wikipedia entry for ‘Furoshiki’ (English)<\/a> (I haven’t found a German entry)<\/p>\n Initiative for waste reduction (‘Mottainai Furoshiki’) of the Japanese Ministry of the Environment<\/a> Blog entry with the nice idea about wrapping a gift<\/a><\/p>\n Google search result for ‘Furoshiki’<\/a> Links of entry Once when I took a look at instructables I found the instruction Paper, Plastic, or Furoshiki? which fascinated me: Japanese use since a long time a cloth to wrap all sorts of things, as well to transport as to decorate them.

\nWhen making a little research<\/a> I found even more Furoshiki folding instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\nOn the photos I wrapped four apples in a dishcloth – I just didn\u2019t have a bandana or an old pillow case ;-) at hand.
\nIn principle the dish cloth can be used but the knots get too big and it\u2019s simply not the real McCoy.
\nWikipedia<\/a> says that the ‘real’ Furoshiki cloth are from cottom, rayon, nylon, a fabric called ‘chirimen’ or silk, in either case they are thinner and thus better to be knotted.
\nAlso the sizes seem to be of a great variety, sure, you’ve always something different to wrap ;-)<\/p>\n
\nI like this ;-)<\/p>\n
