A furoshiki is a Japanese square cloth used to wrap, carry, and store things. It is a traditional item, with its origins said to date back to the Nara period (around 700 AD). The name, which translates literally to “bath sheet,” comes from the fact that people would use them in public baths to wrap and carry around their clothes. However, the uses of furoshiki are wide-ranging and have continued to evolve throughout the ages.
