How to wrap 5 oranges using a piece of cloth I dyed with indigo...
I've been really interested in the art of Furoshiki lately--the art of wrapping gifts and objects using a piece of cloth. In Japanese culture, gift giving is a big deal, because signifies thought and care. People give gifts to maintain relationships, especially in business. Wrapping the gift in cloth shows care because it protects the object whilst also helping to transport it.
I was looking at a packaging book and got inspired to try this out. I love the simplicity and elegance of Furoshiki, as well as it's efficiency with only one cloth. It makes me want to dye more cloth so I can wrap more things.
