1st ed.
Description:
95 p. : chiefly ill. (some col.) ; 26 cm.
Summary:
"In Japanese culture, it is customary to put as much care into the
wrapping
of a
gift
as into choosing the
gift
itself. The way a
gift
is wrapped and the material in which it is presented are considered expressions of the giver's feeling toward the recipient. Now, using techniques that have been part of Japanese tradition for generations, Chizuko Morita offers readers innovative and unique
ideas
for using the Japanese art of
wrapping
with cloth in very contemporary ways. In a matter of minutes, a swatch of cloth known as a furoshiki can be fashioned into an elegant
wrapping
for a CD, a book, a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, even a soccer ball. And unlike paper
gift
wrap, if you get it wrong the first time, you can just undo the knots and start again. Not only are the wraps fool-proof, they rely on only three basic knots."--Provided by publisher.
