Japanese Furoshiki
Furoshiki are a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that are used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods. Dating back as far as the Nara period, the name furoshiki literally "bath spread" derives from the Edo period practice of using them to bundle clothes while at the sento. Furoshiki were known as hirazutsumi "flat folded bundle" Eventually, the furoshiki's usage extended to serve as a means for merchants to transport goods. Nowadays they are widely used to protect and decorate a gift, lunch boxes with hundreds of other practical uses.
