Discover Furoshiki: The Japanese Art of Gift Wrapping

Make every gift unforgettable by learning the ancient Japanese art of gift wrapping with Furoshiki cloths. In Japan, gift giving is more than a gesture - it's a meaningful ritual where presentation is just as important as the gift itself. Furoshiki is completely reusable: no cutting, sticking, or waste, so your wrapping can be enjoyed again and again.

The workshops can be tailored to suit your occasions, with sessions ranging from 30 to 90 minutes.

Participants will have the opportunity to purchase Tomoko's book, Furoshiki and the Japanese art of gift wrapping. and take home a Furoshiki cloth or two.

Tomoko Kakita is the author of Furoshiki: The Japanese Art of Gift Wrapping.

She is a designer based in London, UK. Having lived in the UK for over two decades, immersion in a different culture has only deepened her appreciation for Japan’s unique traditions.

Through her first book, Tomoko invites you on a personal journey of rediscovery - exploring the traditional Japanese art of Furoshiki 風呂敷, where every wrap is imbued with grace, thoughtfulness, and intention. Her workshops also introduce the concept of ma 間 (pronounced má) — the space between things — and how it can enrich our homes and daily lives.
