Great book: it's easy to do, the instructions are great, and the wraps are impressive. My next hostess gift will be furoshiki wrapped and I know that will leave a memorable impression. Some of the more notable wraps are the easiest-wine bottles, casserole carriers, spur of the moment bag made from fabric-how cool is that?

FUROSHIKI FABRIC WRAPS is a book I will treasure...practicality with an international twist (pun intended)! I love that the techniques are so well explained and diagramed that every one I've tried was successful at first attempt. Besides the elegant appearance of the wrap, this makes throwaway paper and ribbons history at my house. I can't wait to walk into another potluck dinner with a furoshiki-wrapped casserole. Nice job, authors!
