During the workshop, most of my classmates struggled with the folds and knots but I managed. In West African culture, I am slightly familiar with wrapping styles using Kente cloth.
CCNY Asian Studies major on my first expedition (and many more to come in the far future) to Kyoto, Japan! Studying Japanese language and culture at Ritsumeikan University. These are records of my travel and new first time discoveries.

Furoshiki Wrapping Workshop (風呂敷) at Marumasu Nishimuraya
Furoshiki (風呂敷) is a man-made cloth (can come in any size) either made out of polyester, rayon, or silk. The purpose of furoshiki can vary between styling objects by wrapping around them for example wine bottles or carrying fruits, or covering tissue boxes for home decor. It's all up to the owner. Overall, furoshiki is highly convenient when needed! 風呂敷は便利ですよ！
