Kakefuda Kyoto - Famous Furoshiki Store

Wow thats pretty cool. You can do it with such simple materials! Just like when I saw a guy make a hat from palm leaves in Fiji.

Thank you for posting this video. Introduced me to the art of Furoshiki. Fell in love with it at first site. Trying to get my fellow Kentuckians to love it too. PEACE!

Another way of saving the earth is to raid your own linen closet and use old sheets that you no longer use because of wear and tear. Or you can use fabric reclaimed from clothing that cannot be worn anymore. The possibilities are endless to what and where you can get your Furoshiki fabric from, espeicially if you are a crafter like me

Excellent!

I love Furoshiki. I made two out of some fabric that I had lying around. Love them. For those who want to know. You can make them out of just about any kind of fabric. Here's an idea you can steal from me. Go to a thrift shop or mission store they just might have some left over fabric that someone donated to them. Buy it and make your own Furoshiki. Not only to you have a wonderful bag but it is make from using fabric someone else didn't want. Talk about saving the earth.

this is exactly what I was hoping people would do upon watching this video! Go out and get some material, and make your own furoshiki!

Thank you for posting this.

hola muy bonitas tus bolsas y muy practicas

In english a bonito is a fish... *wink*

Beautifully artful as well as practical! I was inspired to look up this ancient art after seeing that Lush in the U.K. will now be offering to wrap purchases with recycled vintage scarves - I am so glad that they have chosen to do this! Thank you for posting such a great video!

Thank YOU for watching!! Actually I saw on TV recently that a scarf maker started wrapping ceremonial envelopes like this. so instead of throwing the outer envelope wrapping out (which you always do when receiving wedding, or funeral, etc. envelopes with cash inside), you have a scarf to keep and reuse. VERY ingenious!
