Furoshiki is a piece of wrapping cloth or fabric which can be used for gift wrapping, fashion, decor, or transporting items. The craft originated in Japan as early as 719 B.C. during the Nara period, where cloths - then called tsutsumi (= package; present) - were used to wrap important good and treasures.
Pronounced foo-ROH-shee-kee, the word breaks down to mean 'bath spread. ' In its earliest days, furoshiki was used by noble families and feudal lords to wrap their clothes when visiting the public baths.
