Furoshiki Japanese Gift Wrap

Video: Furoshiki Japanese Wrapping Techniques with Faith Nagasawa

music: Michael Wehr

We're delighted to have Faith Nagasawa here on to demonstrate practical and easy gift wrapping with both paper and furoshiki, the Japanese art of wrapping with textiles. We'll have some of our bestselling items pre-wrapped for your convenience and gift-wrappers ready to wrap your purchases, both for a minimal additional charge.

—Do-it-yourselfers, don't miss Faith's demonstration video on this page for some tips to get started with furoshiki!
