Kakefuda Kyoto - Famous Furoshiki Store

During Golden Week 2007 we visited Kyoto. During our stay we went to one of the famous traditional "furoshiki" or cloth wrapping stores. The quality and colour of the material was amazing. We even got to see the furoshiki that Mick Jagger bought last year!

You can tie them any way you like, just don't tie them so that they slip when bearing weight. And because the material is voluminous, even if you tie a regular knot, you can still work them loose. Have fun! Be creative.

Are the knots tied SQUARE knots?

Yes, someone above said the same thing. Packaging in Japan is a very important part of the entire package, so thinking of the environment in that respect will take a while to ... rethink here. It's like talking environment, but continuing to drive big cars.
